Beacon of Hope - Gratitude Gratitude Thanksgiving is here. For many of us, this holiday may not bring the joy and excitement that many people seem to experience at this time of year. When I am going through a particularly hard time, it is easy for me to get lost in the pain and frustration that sometimes comes in a relationship where your partner suffers from a mental illness. At times like this, it sometimes helps me to think of the things that I can be thankful for, to take my focus off my own problems. It may help to use your journal and write down some of the things you are grateful for.
Some people spend a little time each day recording their grateful thoughts.
I have come to appreciate that even the most insignificant joys are so very precious. Caregivers Corner Thanks to Art Today for the graphics on this page.
