Mom’s Place 4 Grace

Are you struggling to balance your life and taking care of your special needs child? Do you feel guilt whenever you try to find some space to take care of yourself? Being a mother of a special needs kid can be an isolating and lonely existence. Through personal stories about her own journey as a parent to a young boy with special needs, Barbara shows us how growth, renewal, acceptance, clarity and empathy are essential to creating a balance in life while taking care of her child, her job, and herself. Navigating between being a mother and your own person can be challenging. As moms, if we do not take care of ourselves—body, heart, mind, and spirit—we will eventually be unable to take care of the children who so desperately need our attention. You can’t pour from an empty cup after all. Mom sometimes needs to rest! We also need to seek and find the positives along our journey to give us the encouragement and the fuel to keep going forward.
