May 3, 2024 • Chris Williams, Becky Brown

Caller Questions:

1. Am I experiencing true guilt or false guilt after my son with mental illness ran away from his group home? 


2. We moved my 92yo mother to a care facility with a shared room. What can I say when she says she wants to die in her sleep? 


3. I am a caregiver for an 81yo man on dialysis who believes God is going to heal him. He is more concerned about getting his teeth fixed for his testimony than for his wife who is making herself sick trying to care for him. 


4. How can my husband and I help my brother-in-law whose wife just died a few weeks ago? When we talk to him, he is hysterical. 


Can a wound be so deep that you can’t ever recover from it? I grew up visiting my mom only in the summer, and my dad was emotionally unavailable.

Should I continue to intervene with my sister who may be jumping into another marriage too soon?  6. How do I help my daughters cope with a big move due to my husband's job?
