In this episode, I dive deep into one of the toughest challenges we face as caregivers—seeing our partners in pain and feeling powerless to help. I share my personal experience of caregiving for my husband during his battle with cancer, and I know firsthand how easy it is to get stuck in “fix-it” mode.
But here’s the hard truth: we can’t fix our partner’s pain, whether it’s physical or emotional. What we can do, though, is hold space for them, offering comfort through our presence and love without trying to solve the unsolvable.
I talk about how this simple but powerful approach helped me and how it can help you too. By letting go of the urge to fix things, we can actually connect more deeply with our partners and provide the support they truly need. This shift in perspective not only eases their pain but also brings us peace as caregivers.
As a Resiliency Coach for people who are caregiving for their partner, I'm here to support YOU, the caregiver. Learn more about my work at www.coachmarika.com.
