"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.

(From opening monologue on our national broadcast7/9/2021)
Ever found yourself the recipient of glib comments from church folks about your challenges? Admittedly, it's hard to know what to say to someone in distress or in messy situations. An incident in a dusty clinic in Ghana West Africa, forever altered the way I approach the challenging situations of others.

Monday Jul 12, 2021
Why do so many push themselves to extremes in some sort of a mad dash to "vacation." The recent crowds over July 4th at Yellowstone provided a teachable moment for caregivers.
Are we frantically '...hurrying up to relax?"
