If you love someone, you’ll be a caregiver. If you live long enough, you’ll need one. Through our caregiver outreach, we’re helping those who help.

Founder, Standing With Hope

It’s not enough for me to help my fellow amputees stand. We do all this to share the Gospel and equip them to continue Standing With Hope.

I’ve been a caregiver for so long. Parts of this book made me cry. I wish I had it a decade ago. Good heads up for caregivers regarding how to not lose ourselves in the process. This should be distributed to churches, libraries, senior service organizations family members and friends of caregivers should read this too. Most of us suffer in silence. Alone. Behind a fake smile as we are bleeding to death on the inside. Nobody can understand, know what to do or say or how to help or be a friend to a caregiver unless they’ve been there or read this book.

Hits the nail on the head

I was shocked as I read this and saw my “land mine’s” I was walking through!
Very reassuring that I am a normal caregiver.

So good for caregivers

★★★★★

Others may view this book as common sense, but if the role of caregiver is given to you with little warning, it is surprising how far down into stinking thinking and depression you can go and how quickly – I am caregiver of a late 3rd stage Alzheimer’s patient – have walked w/him from brilliant businessman to 5 yr old boy – this book is awesome because the author UNDERSTANDS – it is a small book w/ short but very relevant chapters – quick reading is good when you need the help like I do after 6 years of caregiving –

Very Helpful!

★★★★★

I’m relatively new to caretaking my dad, only 2 years, and I’m also a holistic practitioner, so I’m responsible for his natural healthcare as well.

This book really helped me know that I’m one among many caretakers. I’m not alone. There are things I can do to stay healthy, even if there is a list of reasons why I think I can’t.

As a caregiver, it hit home.

★★★★★

As a cargiving wife to a disabled husband for over 9 years, I found this book full of similarities and good insight for being sure I take care if myself too.
Easy to read and understand, this pocket size book had lots of valuable information for every caregiver, wife, husband, family or friend.
If you are a caregiver, God bless you. It’s the hardest responsibility, we will ever be part of. I believe this to be true because caregiving requires a constant need for action, decisions and self sacrifice. On the flip side, rewards and blessings are also part of caregiving. Look for them every day. You, will certainly find joy when you notice one.
This book would make a nice gift to pass along to a caregiver.

The book is easy to read. Good for busy caregivers. I liked it so much I bought it for a friend who is taking care of her mother like I am.

MUSIC

Songs For The Caregiver

In this recording, I set out to play songs that comfort and strengthen me in my ongoing journey.
Most songs are great hymns of the faith. I also included an original tune written to communicate the heart of a caregiver: I CAN ONLY HOLD YOU NOW—co-written with Buddy Mondlock.

As a pianist for more than 45 years, I understand how to communicate the feelings of the heart through music.
