Letting Go

"Letting go is a central theme in spiritual practice." Jack Kornfield

What does it mean to let go?  As caregivers, perhaps it means to let go of the expectations others have of us, to let go of doing it all ourselves, to let go of denying our own needs and desires, and - eventually - to let go of the person for whom we have provided care, if that is a person with a terminal illness, like dementia.
