Show Notes
This is not your ordinary business professional but a faithful example of repaying our parents by caring for them when they cannot. Amber Johnson has spent the last 7 years taking care of her dad after a car accident and stroke.
We all face the prospect of our parents reaching a state where they need assistance caring for themselves. What will you do? Assisted living? A nursing home? Those aren’t the only options and may not even be the best option.
Listen and learn today what it takes to consistently show up and care for others. This is outside of business hours, but what can you do today to prepare for that day?
In this episode we discuss
Take aways from caring for her dad:
- She was stronger than she thought she was
- Importance of taking care of yourself—you have limits
- Sleep is the most important boundary to keep
- Consider the spiritual welfare of your patient, not just their physical welfare
What can you do to support caregivers?
- Show up and ask how they are doing
- Emotional support of not just asking but doing something to help them
- Be a friend. Constant caring for others is lonely
- Caring is a marathon, remember them past the initial 3-6 months
Favorite verse: Isaiah 26:3 Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.
