From HOPE FOR THE CAREGIVER the radio show June 30, 2019.
Defending your faith ...to yourself. Sometimes the challenges we faces as caregivers overwhelm us and we falter. While many of us know the words to say to others about faith, hope, and God, do we know what to say to our own hearts that are struggling?
One of my favorite passages in Scripture is 1 Samuel 30:6
And David was greatly distressed, for the people spoke of stoning him, because all the people were bitter in soul, each for his sons and daughters. But David strengthened himself in the LORD his God.
Do we know how to strengthen ourselves in the Lord? What does that even mean? We talk about that in this episode.
In addition, a caller (Laura) shares her struggle as she cares for her husband who lives with chronic pain.
At the very end of the show, a surprise gift from Vickie in MS who let's us know an amazing turn around in her life in dealing with her abusive, drug-addict son with PTSD.

Caregiving Mom Exhausted Over Daughter With Migraines

How would you feel if your adult child (30+) lived at home with debilitating migraines?
Caller from Mississippi shared her frustration at her daughter's challenges ...and behaviors. From what she describes in this call, the problem has expanded to addiction and other behavior issues.
Caregivers can easily fall into the trap of enablers. Lost in what I call the FOG of caregivers (Fear Obligation Guilt), we can easily veer off the road into dangerous situations.
There is a path to safety ...but we're not going to find it alone.
That's why we have a show for family caregivers!
