Grace is God's favor unearned
Grace is God's mercy undeserved
Grace is God's compassion boundless
Grace is God's gift wondrous
Last night was my monthly Alzheimer's Support Group meeting. Even though my loved one has passed away and I am not a caregiver for anyone at the moment, I still depend on my support group to help me through my grieving process. Plus, it gives me the connection with the other group members, who have become like family to me, and who are still going through the things that I have already experienced.
Have you joined a group where you can talk to other individuals who are experiencing similar issues? It can be very helpful to learn from each other, talk about the adventures and heartaches of being a caregiver, and gain strength and courage from others who may offer encouragement, provide a safe and nurturing environment, and troubleshoot with you to find solutions to any questions or problems you are having.
Please check out your local support groups until you find one that meets your particular needs. Just an hour or two a month can help to give you a whole new perspective and give you a respite from the daily caregiving responsibilities.
It will make a difference!
