In this episode Cheryl digs a little deeper into managing and preventing the overwhelm. In and through Him we can find the help we need to manage all that life throws at us. Finding the help we all really need to be strong in moments of weakness, peaceful in times of uncertainty and compassionate in times of overwhelm. 
 

After two weeks of reminding people that the healthcare system isn't designed to be ALL the pieces of the caregiving puzzle, through an extremely personal and relevant experience Cheryl challenges the healthcare professionals to remember, why! Why they became a part of healthcare... and remind everyone that you don't need a physician's order to care or be compassionate! It's all the pieces of the puzzle coming together with people who care with a foundation of love that makes the puzzle a beautiful picture. 

It's time for us to rise up and be the difference. We are called to come alongside those who need help, those who are hurting, and struggling, those who are caring for others, but need our help to do so! As a continuation of last week's episode Cheryl digs a little deeper into how we can come alongside and be the difference. She pulls back the curtain and reveals to us, what home health, hospice and personal care can do, how it works, etc. and then helps us to see, wow, there really is a need for us as well. 
What are you and your church or your community doing to support these families who are on a caregiving journey?

In this episode Cheryl challenges us even when we are not the primary caregiver or in that inner circle to find ways to come alongside caregivers and embrace them with love, support and encouragement.
If we are caring His way, that means we are all part of this caregiving journey. 

In this episode Cheryl discusses how challenging it can be for family to handle the emotions of caregiving and navigating differences in opinions and thoughts on the way things "should be". She reminds listeners that there is really one good way to manage conflict in this situation and that is learning to "caregive" His way. 

Caregiving looks different in every situation. But what if the situation is that the person you are caring for, never really cared for you? What if they were unable, what if they left, what if you spent your whole life just trying to figure out a way to survive and then you end up being the one to have to care for that person? What does that look like and how do you manage that kind of overwhelm? Join Cheryl and her cousin Theresa as they discuss a caregiving journey that may not look perfect, but in love the care can be made perfect.
