No Better Ending
Mom passed away peacefully, at home, on Tuesday, March 19, 2019 at 3:20 am while I was holding her hand. That was the end of a long, generous, loving life. She was 96 years old and could never understand how she outlived so many in her family. I am sure it was because she had…
A God Hard Cry – I Sure Needed It
It had been brewing ever since my father-in-law’s heart attack on that Thanksgiving Day. The day started off well with the sound of laughter resulting from the retelling of favorite family stories and the scent of chocolate macadamia nut coffee and cinnamon toast filling the kitchen. Already the house was filling up with family and…

We believe caregiving stress is an overlooked epidemic in our communities. Please take a few moments to tell us about your stress from caring for those in your family with a chronic illness, injury or disease in our simple stress survey.
A Caregiving Comfort: Power
You can feel powerless to your caree’s pain and suffering. No matter what you do and how much you try, it can feel like you both live with a pain that hurts the body, the soul and the heart.
A Caregiving Comfort: Always
It seems like every day will be like this day. You’ll always be behind, tortured by worries, frazzled by the responsibilities. You’ll never get a break.
A Caregiving Comfort: Feast
You just can’t get enough which means you feel like you constantly work, never travel, and buy store-bought. While others celebrate, you endure.
A Caregiving Comfort: Loud
The worries and the stress are like loud noises that make concentrating an impossibility. How can read when your worries and stresses shout so loud at you?
Attendees to our Third Annual National Caregiving called our conference a hit: This was a phenomenal conference! All of the speakers were informative and engaged. We're bringing these conference sessions to you when you purchase one of our conference recording packages. Get your NCC18 recordings package.
We’ll Be Okay: Reason No. 91
Even when life feels too hard, we can decide we will be okay. We can decide that even as we don’t need how the story will end.
We’ll Be Okay: Reason No. 92
When life is tough, we may feel like we must force a fix. What if we could be released and say, “I’m taking a break from the worries for just a few moments.”
