Growth

What experiences in life helped you grow the most?

Let’s look at the question in the all- consuming context of caregiving.

Other experiences have contributed to my professional growth. They found a place on my resume.

Falling in love helped me grow in my heart and soul.

Then along came my love’s dementia and I had more opportunities to learn.

I saw my resourcefulness along with his resilience. We were challenged. We met the challenges.

His diagnosis expanded my world in almost as many ways as it constricted it.

I could appreciate my skills, but more fundamentally, I valued my grace in the presence of our adversity.
