We’Re Stronger Than We Look: Insights And Encouragement For The Caregiver’S Journey

Caregiver, are you overwhelmed? Do you secretly have bouts of despair, bitterness, and even hopelessness? As a caregiver, you run the risk of disappearing. Your time goes overwhelmingly to the needs of your loved one. Your relationships get strained, and your challenges and anxieties are difficult to articulate. It's easier to just keep your head down and do what must be done. What's more, you probably didn't sign up for this role or train for it. And yet here you are, reliving the trauma that got you here, providing support you didn't know you had in you to give, struggling with fatigue, making critical, life-altering decisions, and yearning for the community you had that has changed or disappeared. Rich in stories and unflinchingly pragmatic, We're Stronger than We Look is an invitation to look up and remember the life you've been given, the image of God that you bear, and the assurance that God loves you as much as you love the person entrusted to your care. This message is delivered by a caregiver who, while writing this helpful book, has cared for her paraplegic husband, who was suddenly disabled in a bicycling accident.
