I hope you’ve enjoyed reading the real-life stories over the past five months. This series stemmed from me caring for my husband through his struggles from exposure to Agent Orange while in the Navy. I had cared for others before, but not to the extent his condition required. This series touched my heart to the depths of my soul and I pray it touched your life and gave you insight into the lives of caregivers. Today concludes my Caregiving Straight Talk series.

In January 2003, at the age of twenty-nine, I suffered a devastating hemorrhagic stroke. The stroke was caused by an undetected malformation of blood vessels on the right side of my brain, and I underwent emergency brain surgery the night of my stroke to stop the massive bleed.

· by Loretta Eidson · In: Uncategorized
Choosing a new place for a loved one to call home is not for the faint of heart. Often, friends and family are thrust into looking at senior housing during an emergency or a health crisis. Emotions are high, fear is rampant, and questions are endless. So, where do you begin? My advice is to be wise and avoid emotionally driven decisions. In fact, the Lord calls us to seek Him in all we do, “If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.” …
