I found this experience difficult and felt like I had to care for my little sister too, especially when mum and dad were at the hospital. It was made harder as we come from a family of sweep it under the rug, don't say anything, you might upset someone type of family, We bottle everything up, like to have feelings is shameful, or too painful.
I wish i had someone i could've talked to. My purpose is to help others to speak up about their thoughts and feelings.
I'm now a nurse (geriatric nurse, I prefer to work in nursing homes, with the elderly who share their stories and wisdom). I also am a Wellness Advocate with an essential oil company. I love empowering people to care for themselves, their families (pets too) and clean naturally. I have developed an app (almost in the app stores, will be b4 this book is published) "Call Me" helping people in this busy world stay connected.view less
