Summary:
As a caregiver, the needs of your loved one can easily consume you. You may feel as though you are disappearing into a new reality, one that you didn't sign up for. Daily life can feel isolating, overwhelming, and discouraging as you provide support you didn't know you had in you to give, weary from the physical burden, battling thoughts of a different kind of life. What's more, your relationships fade as those around you struggle to understand the challenges and anxieties you face each day. Rich in stories and unflinchingly real, We're Stronger than We Look is your invitation to remember the life you've been given, the image of God that you bear, and the assurance that God see you and loves you as much as you love the person entrusted to your care. Drawing from her experience caring for her quadriplegic husband and leaning into the lives of fellow caregivers, Jill Brown shares thirty-five essays to lift your soul and breathe life into your spirit. Designed to be picked up and read at any time, each passage can be read in three minutes or less. Includes questions for reflection or discussion to help you process, journal, and review with a friend or caregiving group.
