Anyone who manages a home whilst battling chronic pain, illness and disability will know that there is a sacrificial element: we are the most selfless and courageous of women. We Sacrificial HomeKeepers sacrifice our comfort and exert ourselves beyond limit for those we love.As a chronically ill woman, I can identify with women who are sacrificing themselves in trying to maintain normality in their home and family. I believe I am well qualified to write about chronic illness as I suffer from a myriad of health problems ranging from life-threatening to simply annoying.
These posts are written as a diary of thoughts and articles through my days as a sufferer of chronic pain and illness. If you share that journey, please feel free to read this and perhaps comment, for illness can be a very lonely and isolating experience
I know that many of us would cling to our beds or couch and wouldn't do a thing if we weren't so loving. I know that a lot of us work in our dressing gown, such is our devotion.
We are just amazing and I love every one of you Sacrificial Home Keepers for it. Kudos to us all!
Glenys, I'm not chronically ill so I haven't experienced what you describe. But I do have great admiration for women who keep their homes running as smoothly as they can while dealing with various sorts of pain and exhaustion. Kudos to you, my friend!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Lois! and thanks for sharing a cuppa with me today! Be blessed!
ReplyDeleteGlenys,
ReplyDeleteThank you for this encouragement today. You blessed my heart.
Peace and grace from a fibro warrior,
Tammy
Thanks for encouraging me today, Tammy. I am sorry that you suffer from fibro too. Be blessed!
ReplyDeleteThank you sister. You are so right. I am trying to accept I cannot be who I was but that does not have to mean I am less, you know what I mean? Letting go of false guilt. No one wants to be unable to fulfill things that want to do. Love Kelly T
ReplyDeleteIt's so hard accepting that we are doing less but still worthy. I am so glad God doesn't expect as much from us as we do of ourselves. Try not to become too depressed my friend.
ReplyDeleteGlenys, while I do not suffer a chronic illness, I have walked with others who have been through prolonged illness. I admire greatly those who can push themselves a little bit more each day to be productive. Your words are sure to encourage many who struggle the same as you each day. Kudos to you!
ReplyDeleteOh, good perspective for all of us on the housework hamster wheel!
ReplyDeleteThank you for this encouragement.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Joanne. I try to encourage chronically ill women. We don't get a lot of encouragement, and we really need it.
ReplyDeleteMichele, thanks for sharing a cuppa with me today.
Lauren, thanks to you too for stopping by and sharing a cuppa with us as well. Be blessed, my friends. Kudos to us all!
