During Caregiving, You Can Wonder: Is This All There Is?

About this episode

Denise M. Brown reflects on the challenges of caregiving and the importance of recognizing the broader context of one's life.

Some days, caregiving feels like pushing a boulder up a mountain — moment by moment, with no end in sight. In this episode, Denise sits with the question that can rise up on those days: Is this all there is? This short reflection explores what happens when a hard day becomes, in our minds, a hard life — and how to find your way back to the fuller picture of who you are and what your life holds. Because this part of your life is hard. And your life is more than this part. Resources Purchase Denise's five-book Take Comfort series so you always have comfort with you.
