Living Still is a gift from God through Christ for you, a way to pass along lessons already learned.
Long Term Care dominates life. There is no time to meet others like yourself, to compare notes, or ask “Am I doing this right?”
This typically happens: The one in my care has died, so I’m supposed to leave and take all of my experience with me. You would be left alone to struggle along the same path I've already traveled, to face the same fear, to ask the same questions, to learn the same lessons, all the hard way.
Living Still is for you. For a record of lessons learned, for a witness of the faithfulness of God, for a testimony of the love of Christ, for hope in the life you live and the life you care for, please accept Living Still.

Death will come

Death will come
but it’s not over ‘til it’s over.
We the living must make
those in our care
as comfortable as we can,
while they travel toward
the inevitable end.

Death is easy.
Surrender is simple.
Quitting is effortless.

Choosing life is brave.
Sacrificing time is generous.
Yielding to the needs of another is love.

Love is the greatest gift.
Commit to God and be still.
When faith begins, He will guide.
When life is tangled, He will straighten.
When the end is near, He will comfort.

When death comes, He will embrace.
His faithful will be forever
Living Still
