Caregivers often do not choose that title. It may come by default when a family member becomes ill, or because of close proximity to one who is suffering.  

I have been a caregiver for my dad for over twelve years and when I took care of my mom-in-love, it provided a crash course in learning about her symptoms, past ailments, and what to look for in her health and decline into dementia.

I am writing a Bible study with the Helpers in mind-A book for caregivers written by a caregiver, seeking wisdom from the ultimate Caregiver, Jesus. Watch for upcoming news on the study.

May the Lord bless you as you give of yourself in helping others. The way you nurture makes a difference!
