Everyday life
Caring for someone sick
Accompanying a loved one who suffers, with the tiredness that comes with it.
What the Bible can tell you
Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.
Galatians 6:2
I was naked and you clothed me. I was sick and you visited me. I was in prison and you came to me.'
Matthew 25:36
The LORD will sustain him on his sickbed, and restore him from his bed of illness.
Psalms 41:3
A human reading
Caring for another person is exhausting, and it is normal to feel guilt or impatience. Asking for shifts of care and allowing yourself to rest is also love. You do not have to do it all alone.
