How Faith and Spirituality Can Play an Important Role in Family Caregiving.

Many say it provides strength, community and a bigger purpose to their role.

By Lee Woodruff, AARP. Published August 27, 2024.

Six months into my husband’s recovery from traumatic brain injury, he was gradually regaining words and strength. Caring for him and our four children, working part-time and running the household left me utterly exhausted. One morning, I’d gotten the children to school, my husband off to rehab and I collapsed, sobbing, worried about our family’s uncertain future.

I saw a sudden flash of light behind my eyes and a voice inside my head said, “It’s going to be OK.” I was infused with an immediate sense of calm and peace.
