@mir123 I helped my mother take care of my father while he was in hospice. I helped take care of my mother when her breast cancer came back. She chose to stay at home. I have always felt it an honor to care for both. Sometimes I look back and wish I had done a few things differently. It for me, was easier to see them go though, knowing all they had both endured. It is also easier to think of where they are together. You are so right about spiritual growth. There is joy to be found in the midst of pain. 💕
