Growing Through Grief

In the past year, I have lost both my aging parents. I did caregiving for my father, I’ve heard my mother before she died. They both died within a year of each other. It’s been a rough year. In that year, I’ve learned so much about myself, what I’m capable of, and the care I need for myself. I hope this year to be able to put that learning to work.
