Three Things You Can Do When Caregiving and Life’s Never Ending To-do List Leave You Exhausted

May 7, 2018 by DebbieA

On Monday morning I woke up still feeling exhausted despite eight hours sleep. As many parents of children with special needs will confess, breaks and weekends are not really a time to relax. For those of us with school-age children often Monday morning can’t come soon enough. Before you think me a horrible mom, I want you to know I love both my sons, age 18 and 13, dearly. It’s just that my … [Read more...]

April 6, 2018 by Barbara Dittrich

Looking for the Bright Side

February 12, 2018 by Evana

Whenever my child is sick or in the hospital, people try to encourage me to keep a healthy perspective with familiar sayings. I know these people are right, but it’s hard to do at times.

The Weight of Loving Someone with Great Need

February 9, 2018 by Stephanie McKeever

This Weight. It's heavy. The weight of special needs was something we've gotten used to along the way. It was gradual, never too life threatening. But this. It's daunting. We long to be at home, away from the hospital, but there is no doubt being home, alone, is its own kind of hard. When I was young I remember thinking how difficult it is to keep a baby alive.
