The Reiki Cafe 

My Dad has been stricken with Alzheimers and yes reiki has been a blessing. he is at home and getting good care. I am not his primary caregiver but help out when I can. I am extremely close to my Dad, he was at one time my mother and father. The problem I have tremendous anxiety over leaving or going on a trip for the weekend. I recently backed out from a weekend getaway partially because of this and the friends i would be with don't know how to be supportive. They just don't get it, inconsiderate I guess. How can I use reiki to help me with this, I tried distance on it but my gut told me not to go with them. I am trying to determine if its the friends who bother me (their lack of compassion) or is it separtion anxiety....Advice ????

Having been the family caregiver.......yes to both. There is a worry leaving the ones we love .....I rarely left my dad......should have done it a bit more than I did. Lost much of my health by not taking care of me......Remember you need to take care of yourself so that you can take care of him.

Also, it is hard to to have fun with people that do not have compassion for your circumstances......A get away is in order but with people that respect your feelings and concerns.

Peace, Love and Light to you

Dear Eirelassey,

I can, to some extent, relate with what you are going through. My "fiends" were not supportive either.

It is a feeling I do not wish on anybody. I am so sorry you are going through this. You are not alone. I am sending understanding love for you; along with, Loving, Lights of Reiki Healing.

Love, Lights and Blessings;
Spiritbutter
