Description
Something that isn't often talked about is the experience where you will never have an “empty nest.” The never-empty nest occurs when we have a child that is not able to leave the home or a child that needs care for the rest of their life. This reality can be so challenging to adjust to when you have to process (and grieve) that life may look different than you expected.For this episode, I’m joined by two moms, Connie DeRosa and Kim Cusimano, who both have children that need long-term care. If you are someone who has just learned that your child will need long-term care, have been living this out for a while, or someone who wants to know how they can best help families who have experienced this, today's conversation is one you don't want to miss.In this episode, you’ll hear:How we can care for ourselves while being a caregiver to othersWhere faith fits into this journeyThe challenges that come with caring for your child long-termWhat it looks like to grieve the loss of a life journey you were expectingHow the church can step in and serve families navigating long-term care for their childrenThis episode was such an encouragement to me as I navigate supporting my own child who is on disability. I hope it encourages you as well!Show Notes: https://jillsavage.org/nest-wont-be-empty-103/
