Many caregivers struggle with decades-old promises to make sure to never put Mom in a nursing home When making that promise most recall healthier times when the thought of entering a facility seemed far on the horizon Reality sneaks up on the best of us and we find ourselves faced with uncomfortable circumstances The promise's tether can quickly transform into a noose around the neck of a family caregiver unable to meet the demands of a horrific condition From personal safety to medical expertise caregivers easily find themselves outmatched by an affliction and overpowered by guilt Despite the promise's sincerity [... more]

As caregivers we often must make decisions that benefit the whole unit - not Just one person We get into the trap as caregivers where we're thinking of someone almost to the exclusion of everyone else I understand why - because that person has extreme needs But as a caregiver YOU are meeting many of those extreme needs What happens if you don't consider the person meeting the extreme needs You must think of the whole unit SHOW TRANSCRIPT May Contain Typos If you feel that you are operating out of guilt or fear or any of those things what [... more]

For several years Pat Montague has produced my broadcast Hope for the Caregiver I recently talked with her about her own journey as a caregiver I have learned that leaning on the Lord for whatever he has in store is much more comfortable than resisting fighting and railing against what I don't like I would have not chosen amputation for my husband I'll be honest He had other options that he could have taken but he was astounded when he made that decision I didn't agree with it at the time Now I certainly do But leaning into the Lord [... more]

One of the greatest thefts to family caregivers comes from our own hearts We often steal from the moment to regret the past or fear the future Although yesterday's events may have arrived with tears and trauma today remains an opportunity to calm our hearts and deal with current circumstances As caregivers we all know our tomorrows most likely show up with challenges but unexpected joys may also arrive Surprising beauty awaits us along the way yet we are sure to miss it when our focus extends behind or in front of us None of this eliminates the grief we [... more]

Let Your Scars Speak Not Your Wounds One of the things that we've developed in our culture is this mentality of putting everything out there that doesn't need to be put out there You know you can blame it on Jerry Springer but it actually goes back a lot further than that But we have this I don't know there's some kind of sick fascination with getting out there and blurting out stuff that really needs to be kept private and needs to be dealt with And we as caregivers live with raw wounds And the easy thing for us [... more]
