The loneliness of a caregiving situation can mean you feel lost to your experience, your day, your responsibilities. You feel so cemented to the To Do list that never ends that it’s difficult to feel relieved by all you do day in and day out.
In essence, you lose faith. You struggle to believe you can get up and repeat today tomorrow. You worry that the next crisis will completely topple your fragile house of cards. You struggle with so much guilt that you failed someone because you just didn’t have the time for everyone.
It’s awful to begin and end the day in a crisis of faith.
Know we believe.
We see you, all of you. We honor you as a creative, loving, inspiring, insightful, giving and receiving being. We see you gathering your courage every day. We see you moving mountains almost every minute. We see you advocating, deciding, changing, comforting, impacting.
Because we see you, we believe in you. We believe you matter, that your quality of life matters, that your future matters. Because you matter so much, we want the best for you. That’s why we believe in you. We believe you deserve the best.
When you feel the faith leaving, borrow belief from us. We have so much to give you.
