In reply to Marjory KOPE. Dear Marjory, thank you so much for sharing! I think you are spot on. It is the inner judge/inner critic that makes you feel bad, guilty etc. Something I am very familiar with myself. I am going to write an article about this. The inner critic is never the full truth. It is a very black and white, without compassion thought - pattern, that disempowers and is unreasonable. Stay tuned. thank you so much

Yes I experience both healthy and unhealthy guilt. I have difficulty discerning the difference, and consequently usually am not at ease in most relationships. I tell myself not to have unreasonable expectations, strive for average yet my inner judge doesn’t get that. Then I rely on the outer front and am stressed on the inside.

Resentment saps me of my peace of mind and power. As in AA if I can surrender the situation to my Higher Power, then I can move on. Often I have to frequently surrender it cause I keep taking it back. To me this is how I can forgive.

In reply to Silka.

Dear Silka,
Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and experiences. It means so much to me that the article and guide have been helpful to you!
It is true.. we need these reminders. As family members we can forget and feel very frustrated when caring for our family member… thank you and sending you warmth and light… Nadine

Sally’s experience with anger mirrors my experience with my hubby. I’m most grateful for the reminder that, because of his brain damage, he felt so much shame for not remembering where to put the keys that he preferred to be seen as stubborn vs a forgetful man (a dumb person in his mind – the worst imaginable thing to him, a former math and physics instructor and software engineer). Remembering these words of wisdom will help me deal with our challenging moments when he tries to do his own insulin injections which can take up to 1 1/2 hours at a time. I’m usually okay until the 4th injection at night – that’s when I start to ‘lose’ it.
My greatest help has come from reading the ‘Calm Caregiving’ synopsis which reminded me to ‘see’ the world through his eyes. It created much warmth between us and his injections were much smoother and took less time. It is a constant reminder to me to see him as he is now rather than as I wish him to be.
Thank you, Nadine, for your helpful insights and words of comfort and understanding.

oh Nadine,
I completely understand as I have experienced some of these confusing and scary memories from prior years of my life. These dreams are re-occuring, frightening, and can cause folks not to want to sleep. If we become non-verbal, what then? Thank goodness for you!
