Good reflections

I liked being able to meet people who are caregivers.

This is a timely topic for me -- never really thought of organizing spirituality as a topic. I'm hoping to use this spring and summer to reorganize my home.

Very worthwhile info shared

My husband kept calling me during the meeting so I was distracted and not feeling the full impact of the presentation. The topic was especially applicable and I found great support in the small group discussions.

I learned so much from the ladies in the small group.
I wish we could do this more often.
Thank you.

It was just an okay song for me. I appreciated the sentiment but didn't think the visuals added to it and got tired of the repetitiveness of the lyrics and music.

Every second of support from others who are experiencing similar struggles to mine is so very helpful in so many ways! Thank you!

Really enjoy the group chats and the sharing afterwards!!
Thank you for doing this!
I have been caregiving,my down syndrome/Alzheimer's son total care !24/7 categories 48 years!!!

There was another woman in the group who is caring for her husband and I could relate with her. I realized my biggest fear is who will take care of my husband if something happens to me. I had thought it was my caring for him as his Parkinson's disease progresses. I loved the music and video at the end. I felt more hopeful and not so alone after the meeting. God bless you.

I liked the small break-out session to have a chance to fellowship and support others. If at all possible, maybe beforehand volunteers can be sought to lead and guide the session and then that person could report back to the whole group their "report". I found myself in that position (though unprepared for it) because otherwise it would have been a lot of "dead air" with us all just staring at each other. lol. Maybe I missed it, but perhaps in the invitation it could be made known that a camera/microphone would be very helpful if people would like to participate (though without intimidating them). Thank you for doing this.

I was unable to get on this evening’s Zoom call due to an urgent neighborhood matter.

It's perfect and my only support. Thank you. I cried hard during the closing song because I felt so hopeless and this gave me so much comfort.

My friend Ricardo had audio and video problems but was grateful for the opportunity and will be back next month

I just need to hear how other people cope with issues that i am dealing with. Please pray for us tomorrow, se are looking at group home for our son. I need a clear sign if this is the place he is supposed to live. A very clear sign.
Thanks for all your time and effort that goes into this zoom meeting.

I wish more people would participate in the small breakout session. We had 5 people in our group, only 3 shared. Two remained silent. And I realize that not everyone is comfortable talking in front of others, especially people who they don’t know. Hopefully they know that talking about their situation will be helpful vs. keeping it all bottled up inside.

Tonight I remembered I am not superwoman. I can't do this alone. I need help. And not to be afraid to ask for help. From family and friends.

I really enjoy listening to other people share their stories and their triumphs and struggles. It feels good to know I am not alone on my caregiver journey. Thank you!

Enjoyded the group discussions!!

My husband and I attended together. It was our first time. We liked it a lot and will be back, but we were disappointed that there was no faith sharing in our breakout group about how God has helped. We want a faith-building experience. I shared a story of God's miraculous intervention to solve a problem, but no one else did. We find strength and greater hope when we hear how God is working in other people's caregiving experiences.
