Dementia-Friendly Worship: Finding Spiritual Peace with Dementia

By Brian LeBlanc and Maureen Rulison
Veronica

We Never Asked for That Kind of Miracle

When our daughter, Veronica, received her diagnosis, many people prayed for “complete and total healing.” We truly appreciate all prayers, but we never asked people to pray for that kind of miracle. To us, it was, and always has been so obvious: Veronica is the miracle.
Caregivers

Being Honest with Ourselves as Caregivers

Caring for others, whether we are formal or informal caregivers, can be challenging and difficult.  Although there are many moments of joy, and many gifts to be received, there are also many trials and tribulations to be endured.  Currently, we have seen these caregiving challenges augmented greatly while living through a worldwide pandemic.

A Mother’s Heart​​​​​​​

I have been a mom for 31 years. It is by far the biggest blessing of my life to be a mom. I have two daughters; my firstborn will be 32 in November and my youngest will be 18 in October. I never imagined how much love my heart could hold until I became a mom.

Living options for adults with disabilities: choosing a home and paying for it.

  This guide helps those searching for assisted living homes overcome the two main barriers: choosing a home and figuring out how to pay for it. In this guide, you will learn about the different types of assisted living homes, how to choose the right home for you, how to pay for that home, and state-specific resources to assist you in your search.

Accessibility through Creativity

When you think of accessibility, do you first see dollar signs? Are ramps and elevators the fix-all solution to accessibility? NO!!! Accessibility is much more than ramps and elevators. Accessibility is a new way of thinking and sometimes involves little or no cost.
