I went from having a pretty predictable routine to every day seeming to be a crazy mix of frustration, obligations, and stress with very little downtime. And if you are in the midst of that kind of situation and have been there – you know what I’m talking about. Being a caregiver while also trying to raise a family can be really hard. Depending on God when Life is Hardįor a number of years, I was a homemaker faced with the increasing demands of caring for elderly family members – four of them at once – and then three, then just two, and then finally none. I don’t fully understand it, but on top of several other health issues, the bones in the balls of his feet have collapsed and walking is excruciating and seems to get worse every day. I’m not sure it will get better and we are probably looking at him needing to get a wheelchair. I encouraged him to stay home, but he said he was sure God would give him the strength. This morning he left home, determined to make his visits for the day to pray for people and encourage them. He can hardly walk to the bathroom or to the kitchen without breaking down emotionally from the pain, and continuing his work as a pastor is a battle. Where he used to have lots of energy and was always on the go, these days he’s in terrible pain 24/7 with very little relief found. I haven’t talked about this, but over the last few months, my husband’s health has radically taken a turn for the worse.
