The more we care for self, the more we rest, the more energy we’ll have to get through, the less sick and stressed we’ll be.

“Don’t let people tell you how to live your life. Find out what makes you happy; have great love affairs; travel to all the countries; eat all the food. And know that I have done that. I have had a great time. Our experience on this planet is a gift beyond belief.”

Food is typically one of your highest expenses after housing and transportation, so you can save a ton by spending wisely here. Learn the best prices of the items you purchase the most, and stock up when they hit their lowest prices. Add couponing to your strategy to maximize your savings. And, of course, always shop with a list.

Setting boundaries and saying no can actually preserve, not destroy, relationships, because it can help prevent feelings of frustration and resentment that can harm connections.- Malcom

I think I’m to the point of needing end-of-life care, or soon will be, for my mom. It’s overwhelming to know what questions to ask, along with all the hard emotions. I know you’ve been through this. Any advice or places to turn to get a grip on all this? Some moments I can barely breathe, but I want to do the right thing by my mom— Anonymous
Anonymous: I’m sorry. All the feelings are right things, too.
Reputable hospice providers are a great resource for almost all of this, so ask your mom’s doctor. Some social workers specialize in end-of-life issues, too, and the federal Eldercare Locator can help you find local providers.In my experience, the kindest gift we can give people at the end of their lives is our willingness to listen without letting our own stuff get in the way. Ask your mom whether there’s anything she wants, needs, wants to say — and assure her you are there to meet her needs the best you can, and “please don’t worry about upsetting me.” Be prepared with basic incremental questions, such as: “I want to honor your wishes. Are you comfortable talking about them?” Some hospitals have outpatient or community-oriented palliative-care teams. They work with patients and their families every single day providing the kind of guidance you are seeking. I’m a big advocate for having those important end-of-life conversations. It’s always “too soon” until it’s too late. One helpful resource is theconversationproject.org.
