What Makes You Feel Loved and Appreciated? As a support person for your friend or family member with a serious or chronic illness, do you sometimes wonder how best to help them?

Within each of us is an emotional “tank” whose level fluctuates just like […]

Compassion Fatigue – Finding Rest From Emotional Exhaustion
FINDING REST FROM EMOTIONAL EXHAUSTION COMPASSION FATIGUE is the name given to a collection of behaviours and symptoms that appear when we offer empathy and caring to someone we love for a prolonged period of time without adequate support.

Transitions – From Letting Go to New Beginnings
