I opened the show with a hymn from my CD, Songs for the Caregiver ...and shared i offered the message of this hymn to a listener struggling to care for the parents who abused her.

"I'll Get Help When It's Beyond My Control"
Tuesday Jul 20, 2021
Tuesday Jul 20, 2021
Two different caregivers shared the same sentiment to me this past week. “I’ll get help when it’s beyond my control.”
When I quietly asked what shape they (and their loved ones) would be at that point, they both gave them same response: silence.
Many caregivers competently (and admirably) handle enormous challenges. The issue, however, is not how competent the caregiver is today. Caregiving takes a huge toll on physical, emotional, fiscal, and spiritual health. The time to ask for help is not when we’re overwhelmed, but to seek it in stages long before the critical point.

According to a recent survey, 92% of Americans want to age in their own homes and communities. Given the disperse of the American family. and the challenges of caregiving, this goal seems unattainable. That's why companies such as ADT are offering an increasing number of services that help caregivers be in two places at the same time ...while keeping vulnerable loved ones safe.

Grace for the Person. Boundaries for Dementia
Monday May 10, 2021
Monday May 10, 2021
A caller to the show struggled with a problem many are facing: how to handle someone with dementia. In her case, it involved the family finances.
"My husband has Parkinson's and dementia but yesterday he spent $1,400 in the stock market. Should I just give him grace?"
Our topic for this show was "grace." But sometimes, we misapply grace when boundaries would serve us (and our loved ones) better.

Veteran Journalist, Richard Lui (MSNBC, NBC) shares how his journey as a caregiver for his father with Alzheimer's opened a door to understand more of the human condition.
The award-winning news anchor decided to set aside his growing career to care for family. Selflessness, however, did not come easily. So, Richard set out to explore why he struggled. From a journalist's point of view, he digs into and shares stories from his seven-year "selfless" exploration.
In this book, "Enough About Me - The Unexpected Power of Selflessness," Richard shares how small choices toward selflessness are not a compromise, but instead a way to a more satisfying life.
