@judimahoney Great post. It amazes me that management of any kind ties back to keeping ourselves grounded. I learned of the four pillars at Mayo Clinic's Pain Rehabilitation Center. They include emotional, physical, chemical, and to be in on all four for life. Whether managing ourselves as caregivers or managing chronic pain or other traumas, it seems the same blueprint is in place. Why weren't these things taught to us in school as children growing up?
