We live in a demanding world. Personal and professional responsibilities compete for each minute. Navigating through conflicting imperatives is second nature to us now, like breathing out and breathing in.
Gratitude comes in moments of calm reflection. As you consider your own life, who are your heroes? Business partners? Colleagues? Bankers or financial advisors? Are the brief moments with loved ones, grandparents, parents, husband, wife, children, brothers, sisters… insignificant? Are personal, intimate experiences without meaning? Are commercial relationships the most important? Life is choices. Balance is critical. There are no easy answers. Hard decisions must be made. Family responsibilities are real. Obligations to team members and others who rely on you are genuine, too.
When your mother closes her eyes for the last time, will she regret that you did everything possible for her comfort and support in her twilight hours? Or will she wish that you had closed another deal? Will your aging father be disappointed that you spent quality time with him and provided well when you could not be at his side? Or will he be distressed that you preferred his companionship to another company meeting?
When our Founder, Lily’s grandmother suffered a stroke, she resolved to become a Registered Nurse. For the ten years following graduation, in addition to hospital duty, she nursed her grandmother and treasures each moment of that priceless experience.
Having done the very best you can for your loved ones in their time of need, will you still feel not-in-peace? Quite recently, Lily lost her father to unexpected, developing cancer. Throughout his life, he was a prominent leader with great responsibilities. In retirement, he was active and respected. Lily was privileged to be with him the entire time at William Beaumont Hospital and the University of Michigan Medical Center, desperately seeking a cure that did not exist.
Is it possible to think that you could be contented, even quietly proud, while grieving the loss of a loved one? Curated Home Care brings together efficient, effective experienced care providers. Personable and professional. Your family members and loved ones will truly be in the best of hands, and you can be assured for being there with them for the moments that count.
