Have you ever wondered how caregivers find the strength to support their loved ones through the toughest of times? Join us in this deeply moving episode as we sit down with Marlene Brzezinski, a pastor and family recovery coach, who has navigated the complex journey of caregiving within her own family. Marlene recounts her heartfelt experiences, from helping her husband recover from numerous surgeries to supporting her father through brain cancer, and now, caring for her mother. Discover the power of small, compassionate acts like singing "You Are My Sunshine" to a loved one in their final days, and learn how Marlene's mother found healing through hospitality after her father's passing.
We also tackle the profound emotional challenges that come with caregiving for individuals facing melanoma, COVID-19, and substance use disorders. Marlene sheds light on the importance of setting personal boundaries, prioritizing self-care, and recognizing divine support through the people around us. With practical advice and deeply personal stories, this episode is a testament to the resilience and grace of caregivers everywhere.
