During seasons of joy and happiness, many caregivers feel the opposite. Even if attending church is possible, many feel isolated ...even on a crowded pew.
The relentless challenges facing so many caregivers often leads them to hang their heads while others jubilantly belt out hymns.
That's why HOPE FOR THE CAREGIVER exists. That's why we do the show.
We speak fluent caregiver and bring a lifetime of experience to offer a lifeline to fellow caregivers ...to help them catch their breath, take a knee, and develop healthier strategies to endure and even thrive in their circumstances.
Joy is available. The Gospel vividly speaks to caregivers ...even in the grim challenges they face.
Listen to this clip from the show to learn more.

From YOUR CAREGIVER MINUTE
It’s simply too easy to become lost as the person pushing the wheelchair. We’re become the one standing in the hospital room corner, the one doing laundry or meals, etc. How can we talk about our own broken hearts or weariness when our loved ones have such drastic illnesses or challenges? Too many caregivers feel guilty for saying anything construed as complaining or wanting a break. After all, the suffering loved one doesn’t get a break from pain/disease/ disability. But our injuries and wounds, whether physical or emotional, require attention—regardless of how they compare to others.

Caregivers often spend a great deal of time at doctors' offices, but it's for someone else ...not themselves. One of the 7 Caregiver Landmines is failing to see your own physician as a caregiver. If you're not healthy ...what happens to your loved one?

Bill called the show to share his struggles with his alcoholic father ...who's now had a fall and requires care.
One of the things we do on the show is educate that alcoholism is a chronic disease - and where there's a chronic disease, there's a caregiver who needs help.
"Not Drinking" doesn't make things better, it's a recovery process for every individual in that alcoholic's /addict's orbit. The closer you are, the more recovery is needed.
