Except to say that this does happen for caregivers, too. You can be so 'used up' that you can't meet your commitments and obligations.
Offer a rain check without shame. You wouldn't give someone with a broken leg a hard time; why would you hold yourself, with a broken heart, to a more brutal standard?
If you can, please do leave a comment. I am trying to answer all, and I am failing, but please know this - I read and treasure each one.

I'm so sorry to hear about your fall. I lifted you up to the Great Physician that He will touch you with His healing balm for physical healing and for comfort emotionally. I also prayed that He would provide helpers to stand in the gap while you are recuperating.
ReplyDeleteBlessings to you.
karen, thank you so much for the prayers, and please pardon my delayed reply.
DeleteNo helpers, but He gave me the will to overcome pain and dizziness, and carry on. All I can ask, really.
Thanks so much for being here!
I hope you feel better soon.
ReplyDeleteJan, thank you. Still recovering, but at least when it hurts I'm still alive!
DeleteSo sad to hear this, Andrew. I'm praying strength for you and Barb. God be with you.
ReplyDeleteNorma, thank you so much. It has been hard, but I am doing my best to put on a positive face, and, to Barb's annoyance, to joke about it. (That can be more dangerous than the accident.)
DeleteThank you so much for being here!
I'm sorry, Andrew. Praying for healing and strength. The kind you need and the kind Barb needs. May you be calm, and feel His presence today.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, June. Very insightful, what you say...for the kinds of strength that are needed are very different, not only from our different 'roles' here, but for the different personalities barb and I have (not to mention life experiences).
DeleteYou've just inspired a subject for a new post, if I have the energy!
I appreciate your being here.
So sorry to hear about your fall. Praying healing and strength in the days ahead. Popping over to Amazon to browse your selections.
ReplyDeleteTiffany, thank you so much. I may not bounce back all the way, but, like Tigger, I DO bounce.
DeleteHope you like what you find on Amazon. I did put a lot of love into everything I wrote. I hope that shows; it's my legacy.
So glad you are here1
