Covenant One Takes – Katherine and Susan

Try not to start a conversation with a caregiver by asking, "How are you feeling?" A better way to put the question is, "How are you holding up today?" Caregiving is about making it through one day at a time.

This advice comes from Susan Ferone, a Covenant member who works with Caregiving Corner, an organization that supports seniors and their families.

Susan leads a Caregivers Support Group via Zoom at 11 a.m. on second Thursdays of every month. The fall session kicks off Sept. 10 and includes a book study on Courage for Caregivers by Henri Nouwen. Contact Susan via email or reach her at 704-737-2487.

The group welcomes anyone in the community who cares for a loved one, whether the person is a spouse, parent or adult child. You'll find a supportive space to talk about challenges with others who are on the same caregiving journey.
