Don’t Give Up: A Cry for Hope in the Midst of Crisis

A message both for caregivers and for those in crisis. It’s my prayer it captures the compassion, perseverance, and spiritual hope that can carry someone through their darkest moments.

Don’t Give Up: Whether You’re the One in Crisis or the One Caring

When I reflect on the struggles faced by those who care for loved ones in crisis—especially when depression, hopelessness, and despair weigh heavily—I think of Heartfelt Guardians. These are the caregivers who, day in and day out, offer strength, support, and presence to someone who feels lost in the dark.

Crisis intervention is often immediate—an action taken to deescalate someone from crisis to safety. But crisis caregiving is the long journey, often taken by family members or friends, walking alongside someone in pain toward healing and restoration. It requires enduring love and unshakable patience to help prevent or minimize the silent suffering that can lead to suicidal thoughts.
