It came to me last week that my family and friends didn't disappear from my life but as a caregiver I disappeared from them. Their life moved on while I let my life come to stand still. And while doing so I shriveled up into a frightened old person. One thing that caused it was some serious health issues of my own. Everyone told me I couldn't do things anymore and I came to believe it. I attended a Grief Share group that helped but Sandra you also helped me tremendously. Thank you for sharing my dear friend. You are a blessing to all of us. Hugs and love from Montana.

I was a caregiver for my husband who passed away in 2004. At 43 years old I realized I had disappeared, it was a terrifying place to be. I have been journaling daily since that time. Writing is freedom. I call my writing conversations with my soul. ❤

I read
The great thing in life is that we can always begin again.

I’m 40 years old and I love listening to the wisdom, you share with your viewers. Thank you! ❤️

I have children who now have young children. I quickly figured out that I was only being asked to be a part of their lives so they could use me for my time as a baby sitter and housekeeper so they could work and accumulate stuff. I asked myself why would I allow myself to be used so they could fulfill their schedules instead of having a relationship simply to be with them to enjoy their company. My answer was NOT what I wanted to hear but I could not ignore the truth. I was afraid they would reject me if I didn’t fit in with their agenda. Well, I had to be true to myself. I told them I would not do a roll that was not my job. My job was to be grandma and go to lunch with them and visit with them for no other reason but to spend time with them without fulfilling all the obligations for them that weren’t my responsibility. Here’s the hard truth. . . Some of my children stopped calling when a put those boundaries in place. I pray they will come back one day but unfortunately there are no guarantees. I have to live my truth as I hope everyone lives their truth as well. The serenity prayer is going through my mind as I write this.

I’m delighted to have your thoughts to listen to and you are an inspiration to us older generation. My life changed as well after my husband passed two years ago and covid kept me continuously isolated inside my home. I’ve listened to you this morning in the mountains of Arizona and became determined to change myself and my surroundings. I’m now focusing on a little trip to the south-east and relax by the ocean. Thank you Sandra as I’m very close to your age and I’m getting ready to live again.

There’s so much relief in hearing your words. It validates what I’m going through and gives me a perspective that resonates with me. Have a wonderful week.

Dear Sandra,
I am 72 years of age and if I live until 100 years (I pray not) I have 28 years left. My prayer is to live my best life, learn to say no when it’s not right for me, smile, laugh, be kind, joyful, be of service when I can and stay humble. And finally my devotion to get closer to God to help me through the remaining years of my life In Peace. I realize only I can give these gifts to myself with the help of God. Each person has to find their own world of being content in their life. I no longer care to preach or control I have relinquish that part in my life. My family and friends need not hear me preach, but I can set an example and hopefully they can understand and mirror my way of life. We all have our own compass in life and only we can decide what path to take. Thank you for sharing. 🌸

What a beautiful message. Thank you, Sandra!

“Wait a minute girl, wait a minute…”.

Sometimes we must hit the pause button reflect and reset our trajectory. Thank you for sharing your inner thoughts in this video. I am there with you, doing the same thing.
Hugs to you from across the miles sweet woman. I’ve been off-line a while, and didn’t know you lost your Arthur. Sending love and 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

I can't believe how on point you were today, this is mind blowing😱 I just wrote about everything you said this week on learning who I am. I started by giving myself rules to go by.
Most people look at life base on what they want, I started removing myself from what I don't want. My golden rule is, " When people show you who they are the first time believe them" The heart can only be broken so many times unless it will die before it's time. The word I practice more now than ever is, NO!!! It has brought me peace, something you can only get in quietness and meekness. I no longer believe that people can't help themselves, they choose not to do the work and I have learn to accept their choices. Sometimes you can want more for people than they want for themselves.Taking care of people is easy but taking care of oneself is the most challenging. I am on the journey to healing myself.
Awesome video as always!! Have a wonderful day!❤️💐

Thank you for your wise words. So timely for me. You are an incredible inspiration. Time to begin again. ❤

We repurpose ourselves, our lives many times throughout life. The minister at my Moms funeral service spoke about all the hats Mom wore and how many changes she got through in her 85 years. It was a beautiful service. It was also a learning moment for me. I knew Moms many hats, but I hadn’t realized my own. Thank you Sandra.

Journaling is what I utilized to save myself, writing is so important to me now. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.

[sharoncavanaugh]

Thank you for the post. I had the same experience a couple of years ago. I also put my thoughts in writing. I wrote my thoughts to myself in emails. I look back at that time as a major turning point in my life. You are right. Putting your thoughts and feelings in writing helps enormously. We women often put ourselves last. We feel guilty if we take time for us. We should remember to "put the oxygen mask on ourselves first."😂
Thanks again.

[Sunshine-ovnu]

I have been feeling this way for awhile. I'm tearing up listening to you. I needed to hear this today I thank God for you

[cherylobrien]

[Rita-bwwh]

Hello Sandra, I know exactly what you mean. I also still think I have to be there for everyone, help everyone and protect the family. Sandra, I have been with you here for so long and I am happy to be a part of this wonderful community you have brought together. Thank you for that. You are beautiful. Take care of yourself. 🤗❤

[barbarella]

You are completely right! We can take responsibility for other’s lives especially when they are adults! We are only responsible for our own life! We are directors of our life. Love❤️

I'm 37 year old and I can tottaly relate to your message!! It has broken my heart that I had been there for alot of people and I had this belief that my life is based completely on them, when I decided to take a break, I have discovered no one notices my disapperance😢it was like I was sitting on chair all my life watching over them living their lives
