Endure.
Our heart breaks because of all we endure. We endure too many phone calls to get just a little bit of help. We endure so much insensitivity from too many who just don’t get it because they can’t be bothered to understand. We endure discouraging days as we lose our hold on the status quo. We endure weight gain from our stress, sleepless nights because of our worries, silent pain as we hide our tears.
We endure. We also ensure.
We ensure so much. We ensure our caree keeps dignity and quality of life. We ensure the day stays on schedule, the hope remains on point, the decisions create the best possible outcome. We ensure love, support, kindness and compassion continue.
Even as we endure, we can assure ourselves that we make a difference and that our voice matters. We don’t have to endure in silence. We can share our challenges to ensure we give ourselves a chance to heal.
We endure. Most important, we ensure.
What do you endure? What do you ensure?
