Laura Jack is a trainer for the Grief Recovery Institute® and Mastery Level Transformational Life Coach. I talk with her today about the conflicting feelings that many of us experience while caring for our aging parents.

Some of the great insight she offers:

• conflicting feelings are NORMAL and it's okay to acknowledge them
• The definition of guilt...it will change your mind every time you "feel guilty" again!

And some suggestions for dealing with these feelings:

• Do a 5-10" venting exercise with a safe listener
• express gratitude!

She offers many free resources on her website. You can find her here:
