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.

Never a Good Time for Goodbye

The one in your care is with you,
Right Now.
"Right now" is all that's important.
Every breath you spend,
Every motion you make,
All the energy you have to spare
Should be focused
On this moment,
While your loved one is with you.

You may be afraid you won't get to say "goodbye."
You may fear that your loved one will slip away,
and you won't be there.

It's alright.
Saying goodbye
is not as important as
"Hello. I love you."
