Walking with Your Loved One Through Chronic Pain and Illness - A Conversation with Nate Brooks
Manage episode 519018372 series 1256746
The title of Nate Brooks’ book, Disrupted Journey: Walking with Your Loved One Through Chronic Pain and Illness, describes the transparent conversation he had with hosts Sharon Betters and Heidi Nequist.
Caregivers are one of the most forgotten communities. They often find themselves in this position quite suddenly and must navigate a whole new way of life, often alone, as they quietly persevere in giving their lives for the good of another. Nate knows what this is like and brings wisdom and hope while at the same time admitting this pathway is hard, so hard.
The day he brought his wife home from the hospital, he was suddenly responsible for a whole new layer of living that included caring not only for his wife’s needs but taking care of three young children and all that means – piled on top of his already very busy life. Among other things, he talks about how he learned to take care of himself so he could function and keep all these balls of everyday life in the air. Nate talks about how hard it is to be godly and doesn’t shy away from admitting the moment he thought, “I didn’t sign up for this,” and how in the next moment he realized, “Yes, I did – on my wedding day.” Nate gives exhausted caregivers hope by being transparent about the hard and about how God meets us in those hard places. This conversation is for caregivers and those who love them.
