Caregiving

Struggle Page

We were married at 18 after being together since we were 15 and 16 and life was good. Just two young kids in love with no worries in the world, but what did our future hold? I personally did not realize that a work accident would change the course of our lives and I would become the caregiver of a man suffering from mental illness. I worked in the healthcare field working with a psychiatrist never knowing that some of our patients’ stories would become my story.

Another Holiday, Another Crisis

8 Nov 2022

Rx 4 Wholeness

It’s another holiday and another crisis from our son with mental illness. It didn’t help that the holiday was close to the full moon. It started over something simple, something which sometimes we can contain and talk him down. Unfortunately this time it just escalated, maybe because of the full moon energy or maybe because the audience of family. This time it escalated enough that we had to call the police and the EMTs. I am thankful we live in a community where our police listen to us and try to understand our son.
