“ Taking care of yourself is not a luxury; it’s a necessity. By prioritizing your own well-being, you will be in a better position to care for your mother and handle the challenges that come with her condition.”
I know at times we all feel like taking care of ourselves is luxury and not a necessity.
Somewhere along the line we learned taking care of others was more important than taking care of ourselves. We too, are worthy of care.
