The Caregiver's Cloak

The Caregiver's Cloak: This form of shame drapes heavily over those responsible for the welfare of others, from parents and caregivers to leaders shouldering the livelihoods of many.  This cloak absorbs the guilt and shame associated with yearning for a life free of unrelenting responsibilities. The cloak, laden with silent regrets and the yearning for a life less burdened, distorts self-perception and fosters feelings of failure and guilt. This card urges you to acknowledge the weight of the cloak and to seek support and understanding. It invites you to shed the cloak of shame, find comfort in your humanity, reaffirming that the desire for freedom does not diminish the love and care you provide.
