Thank you so much for this article - it is how I have been feeling for many years while caring for various ill and disabled family members, but I never knew how to articulate it, but this article is the first one that really captures my guilt vs. resentment feeling I could never express. I have been following the guidelines mentioned and am really starting to notice a huge reduction in my overall stress levels.

Certain smells give us a direct route to our joys and sorrows.
When we are ready to push through obstacles, we can reach the good life.
To take care of yourself is to take care of those who depend on you.
The real action in life is interior as we ascend in years.
Moving out of our darkest times and finding the peace of self-knowledge.
