UP FOR DISCUSSION:

Inspiring & Encouraging Blog Posts from our Community of Caregiving to our Community of Caregivers. 

UP FOR DISCUSSION: Faith has been an important part of my caregiver journey, and this week especially I have been reminded repeatedly of the wisdom to “Let go and let God.” As newcomers join our caregiver ranks all the way through to those now having to say goodbye to their loved ones, this sage advice seems so important – yet so very difficult to do!

Imagine the surprise when things go exactly as predicted and according to the well-made plan! Why is it such a surprise?

     We faced a new challenge this past week that – to my surprise – went amazingly well!  Not because of meticulous planning, although I can assure you that was done in detail over the past several…
