A poem to those who tell my friends things like, "Get over it"
Yeah, we got plenty of "Why don' you just...?" type of advice when we'd tell people about our experiences as caregivers. Well-meaning, I'm sure, but completely oblivious to the complexity and emotional strife of the situation.
Exactly! This dynamic is just everywhere, it seems to me. Sometimes it just kind of gets my goat!
