Deep Dive: Being There For a Dying Loved One

It’s incredibly sad and emotionally challenging when someone you care about is terminally ill. They’re dying. You’re not. Yet their illness might cause you tremendous anguish, anxiety and fear. In an effort to avoid the pain associated with death, some people excuse themselves from visiting their dying loved one, saying things like they’d like to remember the person the way they were or that they hate hospitals. If there was ever a moment in time to get out of your own head and put your feelings aside, this is it. Call 1-800-DR-LAURA / 1-800-375-2872 or make an appointment at DrLaura.com

Deep Dive: Accept Your Spouse’s Limitations

One of my favorite t-shirts in the Merch Store at DrLaura.com reads, “You Picked Him. Stop Picking on Him!” It’s something I say to callers a lot. Mostly to women who tell me that they can just no longer live with their husband’s bad habits, insensitivities, lack of ambition and such. I always ask, “When did you first notice these negative behaviors?” Followed by, “Did your mother, sister, best friend – anyone point these red flags out to you?” More likely than not, the behaviors existed before the marriage and the children. More likely than not, someone pointed out the potential for a problem. Call 1-800-DR-LAURA / 1-800-375-2872 or make an appointment at DrLaura.com
