Asking for help as the caregiver (husband 20 yrs with Parkinson's)

When my husband raged around me, I started using gel pens and intricate coloring books. I felt as I used to as a kid when I oil painted. The remembered flow of the paint took me to a zen space and I survived him rather than having a stroke as I feared I would have.

I love this idea! Finding an activity that is pleasurable and allows us a break from our current circumstances is great. Lots of people knit, crochet, read, bake, cook, or involve themselves in other pleasant activities. When I feel a need to escape, I love to bake something with lots of cinnamon. The activity of baking, as well as the smell of cinnamon, is totally relaxing for me.
I appreciate your sharing this!
