A Support Circle Needs Support Too!

Mom has had shortness of breath lately, and we were concerned that she had asthma. She went to the doctor and to our surprise, the doctor said it wasn't asthma but instead was stress-related! It turns out that over the past few weeks, Mom has not been breathing properly. Thankfully, yoga, meditation and breathing exercises will be sufficient to address the issue.

But it's worth noting that caregivers need support from family and friends. Mom has made a gargantuan effort to reshape Dad's and her own life to fight their battle. Logistics are a full-time job in themselves, let alone the barrage of emotions that need to be acknowledged and addressed.

While I will always see her as Supermom, we mustn't forget that Supermoms need their rest too. Give your Supermom a hug today and remind them what an important part they play in your life.
