Mom's Stroke: 1 Year Later – The Hard Truth About Caregiving & Hope

Welcome to the Esther Lewars journey of becoming your Ultimate Self. This week marks the one-year anniversary of my mom's hemorrhagic stroke, and I'm sharing the raw, honest truth about what this journey has looked like for my family—and how she continues to develop her ultimate strength. A stroke diagnosis turns your world upside down. It is a type of loss for the victim and caregiver. It also forces you into a state of becoming. In this video, I talk about: The initial shock and the year of intensive caregiving. The emotional toll of a stroke on the patient and the family. The unexpected lessons of gratitude and focus that emerged from the crisis. Not mentioned in the video is my ARADAR Framework (Acceptance, Reflection, Awareness, Decision-Making, Action, Results) which provided a map through the recovery process. Why I believe this experience truly accelerated my journey to my Ultimate Self. My mom went from ER and ICU to living at home. Despite her challenges, she continues to praise and acknowledge God, and spread love with those she encounters. This is more than a story of loss; it's a testament to resilience, faith, and the enduring power of family. If you or a loved one are navigating a health crisis, I hope this video gives you strength and a sense of hope for the road ahead.
