Fed up with feeling frustrated? Tired of feeling depressed and worried?
Weighed down with grief and sadness?
Ready to let go of old hurts and move ahead?
Your life is waiting...
In my experience, people come to counseling because it's time...
Time to face what isn't working in a relationship...
Time to stop being controlled by fear and anxiety...
Time to heal old hurts and wounds...
Time to have more in your life than depression...
Time to face your grief and move through it....
Time to silence the negative, critical tapes inside...
Time to dream new dreams...
Time to create the life you want...
Time to discover joy.
Is it time for you?

Through the graces of Twitter, I recently read this fine article for caregivers by Wendy Lustbader in the Huffington Post. I particularly liked this quote:
"You can’t take away someone’s loneliness. No matter how many times caregivers phone, visit, or take their loved one on outings, there will always be the time in-between contacts for the person to feel the sadness of separation from lifelong friends and the loss of once cherished activities. These are consequences of frailty or illness that caregivers cannot rectify. It helps to recognize the unavoidable fact that the hours of companionship they provide for their relative go quickly and the empty hours still pass slowly."
It’s a challenge for caregivers but not just caregivers. Many people struggle with wanting to take away another person’s pain, grief or struggle. After all, we love them. We don’t want them to feel badly. We want them to have lives of joy, no matter what their age and physical condition.
