Hey everybody and welcome to my podcast. In this episode is the return of Christy and a continuation of her view of this journey from a caregivers perspective. Christy shares some valuable advice for anyone who cares for a loved one who is suffering from severe illness or injury. Her experience is as much heartbreaking as it is inspirational and that's why I believe it's so important for her to share this information with the world. Please share this episode with someone who faces the same obstacles and may be struggling as a caregiver. Remember self care is absolutely necessary for the caregiver to be able to survive the trauma of being in that role. As always I want to thank you for joining me on this journey, please know that I appreciate each and every one of you. The love that is continually shown to me is truly the wind beneath my wings as I through faith in Jesus, live my life with this disease everyday refusing give up. Remember to Live Your Spirit !!! Love to all .... J
