Exposing your true feelings may be uncomfortable sometimes, but it’s worth it! Dig deep.  Think about your feelings and get them out.  Take a nice, deep, calmiing breath…be honest and gentle.  Sharing in this way will definitely help you to create or strengthen a relationship.<\/p>\n

Here are a few questions to get you started talking about your feelings:<\/p>\n

1.  When do you feel happiest?<\/p>\n

2.  When have you felt the most jealousy?<\/p>\n

3.  When do you feel overwhelmed?<\/p>\n

4.  When do you feel scared?<\/p>\n

5.  What fills you with the greatest feeling of love?<\/p>\n

These questions are from my book, Caring Questions:  Sensitive and Fun Conversations Starters for Caregivers.<\/em><\/strong>  I wrote it in an effort to help familes reconnect and start talking…even in the midst of scary, confusing times. <\/p>\n

Please ask (and answer!) these questions with someone you love.  Talking like this regularly will definitely strengthen your relationship. <\/p>\n
