I'm not good at sustained care-giviing and truly don't want to do it!

Thank you for saying this out loud.

It takes guts to admit what so many women feel but bury under guilt.

You are not broken for not wanting to be the forever caregiver.

You’re honest. You’re clear. You’re choosing truth over martyrdom—and that’s powerful.

We weren’t put on this earth just to tend to others until we disappear.

Your life, your energy, your time? It’s sacred. And it counts too.

With tears welling up, I say, "Bless you". Your compassion is humbling.
