How to be Grateful When your Life Sucks

Do you hate it when people try to tell you that you shouldn’t be so sad, angry, stressed out because things could be worse? Does it anger you when people tell you to find the silver lining in this storm of caregiving?

Learning how to be grateful can help when life gets really difficult

Gratitude should not be

• Dismissive or used to minimize what you’re going through
• A way for you to say things could be worse
• A method of showing you that you have things to be grateful for and by default have nothing to complain about.

There’s nothing worse than having a moment when someone tells you that it could be worse or try to tell you things aren’t as bad as they seam. So I’m not suggesting that this is what gratitude should look like for you because that’s not helpful for you.

This episode is about 

• Learning how to validate your struggle by naming it and seeing it
• Not using gratitude as the solution to your problems
• Understand how to attend to the hardships of caregiving but at the same time learn how to be grateful in a way that is supportive of your caregiving needs.

Listen to this episode and learn how gratitude can be a part of your life even when life sucks.
