That statement is going to make family members scratch their heads when we celebrate the holiday together and I announce that this Thanksgiving I\u2019m grateful for grief. Chances are, those words are making you, as a family caregiver well acquainted with grief, scratch your head as well.<\/p>\n<p>Five years ago, grief wouldn\u2019t have topped my thankfulness list. Not because I lacked experience with grief\u2026<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;starting as a child in a home where caring for an ill father was our family\u2019s chief concern,<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;then as young parent caring for a medically fragile baby,<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;and finally, as one of three adult children managing our mother\u2019s care as her health failed.<\/p>\n<p>During those days of constant caregiving, grief was my frequent companion. I had little time or energy to address it. Only now, with both my parents released from long suffering and our son an independent adult, have I been able to reflect upon my grief. What I have discovered in the process is yielding a cornucopia of blessings that explain why this Thanksgiving, I\u2019m grateful for grief. I\u2019d like to share just 3 of them with you.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>My dad lived with multiple sclerosis for 38 years. For 24 of them he lived in the home where my siblings and I were raised. When his needs grew too much for Mom to handle, he resided in a long-term care facility for 14 years. Every day he lost something to his terrible disease. Dad could have complained about what he could no longer do. Instead, he joked about his fumbling fingers. He grinned wide at visitors and caregivers when he couldn\u2019t remember their names.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hopeanew.com\/hopeanew-blog\/2024\/11\/25\/this-thanksgiving-im-grateful-for-grief\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><strong>To read the rest of This Thanksgiving I\u2019m grateful for Grief, visit the Hope Anew website.<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><strong><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"font-size: small;\">Do you like what you see at DifferentDream.com?
