Caregiver, You Can Do This Hard Thing

Sometimes life holds really hard things. As a caregiver, you may be experiencing more unexpected, stressful and difficult moments than calm and joyful ones. Since you found your way to this page, more than likely, life is holding some heavy and hard for you right now.

Watching your loved one change is hard.  Adjusting your life and routine in response to ever-changing needs is hard.  Caregiving is hard.

There can be—and so often are—beautiful and sacred moments of light in the midst of it all, but that doesn’t mean the heavy and hard are not real.

This song by Carrie Newcomer, reminds us of the inner strength that we all have.  Even when it doesn’t feel like it, we—more often than not—hold within us the ability to do what needs to be done and to do the hard things. You can do the hard things.

As you listen to this song, be reminded that you have the incredible ability to walk this journey and face what can feel quite heavy.  You are not journeying through this hard thing by yourself.

You are good. And beloved. And strong. And enough.

May light and love give you strength in the hard moments to face all that is before you.
