“I love my mom… but I miss my marriage.”
If you've ever whispered this in the quiet, exhausted corners of your day, this blog is for you.
In Episode 260, Lizette walks alongside Paulette, a Christian woman navigating the daily strain of caregiving for her mother while trying to preserve a two-year-old marriage.
Paulette lives apart from her husband so she can care full-time for her mom—and the emotional, spiritual, and logistical costs are piling up.
💔 When Chaos Becomes the New Normal
For Paulette, chaos isn’t just a feeling—it’s a fact:
Her daughter and grandkids lived with her.
Her brother just had a stroke.
Her job was lost.
Her husband is waiting for weekend visits that rarely happen.
Can you relate?
As the caregiver, scheduler, nurse, and mediator, Paulette’s roles are swallowing her identity as a wife. And as Lizette lovingly points out, that’s not just overwhelming—it’s spiritually misaligned.
🛡️ Don’t Wait for the Breakdown
Too many caregivers wait until their marriage cracks, their health collapses, or a crisis forces action. Paulette’s story is a gentle, grace-filled call to plan now—not later.
Let’s remember:
🕊️ God is not a God of confusion, but of peace (1 Corinthians 14:33).
