29 Love Not Fear - When Love And Sadness Sit Together

Sitting with her mum, Liz discovers that connection and sadness can coexist. On day 29 of her Living From Love, Not Fear experiment, she realises that love doesn’t exclude feelings of grief or loss — especially in the presence of dementia.

Even when words are few and conversation falters, love and well-being remain. Connection remains, quiet and steady, showing up in its own way.

The penultimate day. It’s been a wonderful and uplifting journey thank you Liz. Today’s offering I have had to listen to twice to find “my bit” as I find other folks journeys alongside a loved one with dementia is very empathy triggering that usually results in me trying to surround the person in a cloud of supportive love and possibly smother them. That then tends to flow in to a bit of a guilt trip for me as I look back on dads journey and see things we could have done better, while in reality knowing all his children did the best loved filled job we possibly could. But this last nearly 30 days I found I could halt that spiral this time and choose love. It has been a wonderful experiment to join you on Liz, thank you
