  • Finding Hope and Humor in the Hardest Places
    2025/10/06

    If you’ve ever wondered how to hang on—much less laugh—while caring for someone you love, this episode of Hope for the Caregiver is for you.

    I recently joined Dr. Jessica Peck, known to her listeners as Dr. Nurse Mama on American Family Radio, for a conversation about faith, humor, and the realities of caregiving. We talked about my new book, A Caregiver’s Companion: Scriptures, Hymns, and 40 Years of Insights for Life’s Toughest Role, and the lessons Gracie and I have learned through her 98 surgeries, chronic pain, and the daily challenges that come with four decades of caregiving.

    You’ll hear how I’ve found strength in Scripture, laughter in the hardest places, and peace in trusting God when nothing makes sense. We discussed what it means to be healthy while caring for someone who isn’t—and why I believe healthy caregivers make better caregivers.

    I also shared one of the most powerful moments of my life: Gracie singing “In My Life, Lord, Be Glorified” while nurses worked on her open leg wound—and later, singing hymns with Joni Eareckson Tada over FaceTime. Those moments reveal what the world can’t understand but what believers know deeply: even in the ICU, there is hope.

    I close the program at the Caregiver Keyboard with one of my favorite hymns, “Near to the Heart of God,” and the story behind its writing—a reminder that even in sorrow, there is a place of quiet rest near to His heart.

  • Your Future Self Will Thank You
    2025/09/30

    On this week’s Hope for the Caregiver radio show and podcast, I shared why healthy caregivers make better caregivers—and how small daily choices shape our future. From rest and prayer to forgiveness and boundaries, each decision helps caregivers reduce stress, avoid resentment, and stay strong for the long journey.

    I also spoke with Carolyn Wheeler O’Byrne, founder of Daisy’s Place in Florence, Alabama, a nonprofit offering safe housing, meals, and support for families caring for loved ones in the hospital. Born out of her own experience sleeping in a hospital parking lot, Carolyn now provides caregivers with a refuge of rest and community rooted in Christian faith.

    At the Caregiver Keyboard, I featured the beloved hymn Open My Eyes That I May See, reminding us that even in exhaustion, God opens our eyes to His truth and peace.

  • From a Van in the Hospital Parking Lot to Daisy’s Place

    When Caregiving Means Sleeping in a Van: The Story Behind Daisy’s Place

    On this week’s Hope for the Caregiver, I spoke with Carolyn Wheeler O’Byrne from Florence, Alabama—a mother whose fierce advocacy for her 17-month-old daughter, Daisy, turned into a decades-long mission.

    Carolyn recounted the terrifying season when Daisy was diagnosed with congestive heart failure, endured failed procedures, experimental treatments that nearly killed her, and infections that pushed her to the brink. Through nights spent in hospital windowsills and even a van in the Vanderbilt parking lot, Carolyn fought for her child’s life with grit and faith.

    Now, twenty years later, Daisy is thriving—and Carolyn has transformed her pain into purpose by founding Daisy’s Place, a nonprofit home that provides weary caregivers with food, showers, clean clothes, and, above all, dignity. Instead of parking lot vans, families now find refuge in fully furnished bedrooms, stocked kitchens, and the compassionate presence of someone who truly understands.

    This episode is a reminder that caregivers are not alone, that faith sustains when resources collapse, and that one woman’s determination can ripple out to bless countless others.
