All the RAGE
|
Bitterness is like cancer. It eats upon the host. But ANGER is like fire; It burns it all clean. Maya Angelou |
Caregivers -- especially 'alpha daughters' -- are natural targets for elder rage. If you also claim membership in the 'sandwich generation' -- a club with steep dues -- the flames are fierce.
For my 90-yr old Mom -- Confusion, declining health and a sense of powerlessness fuels a geyser of rage.
For my 27-yr old Daughter -- Crafting yet another plan, after setbacks outside of her control, makes her simmer & seethe.
Sometimes, everybody is mad. Fighting fire with fire is not usually productive, but we're all human. Tomorrow is another day to begin again.
