My friend Steve Siler recently sent me a copy of his latest Music For The Soul project. It's called "Dignity."
Over the years, Steve has created comforting, healing music for people dealing with eating disorders, pornography addiction, and surviving a suicide, among other topics. Every music for the soul project combines great songs with spoken word, all of it overseen and approved by experts in the various fields.
"Dignity" is a wonderful addition to the Music For The Soul collection, and I hope that if you are a caregiver or if you know a caregiver, you will get a copy of the project. The songs deal with the stress and constant demands caregivers deal with, as well as the way they face loss and heartbreak. The spoken word sections are from different people who have personal knowledge of the situation. There is an adult child caring for a parent with Alzheimer's, a husband caring for a wife with MS, a professional caregiver who sees his work as a calling, and several others.
I know a little of this battle because of my dad. We were so blessed that my mom was able to care for him at home until his death, and she did an incredible job. But she would tell you that she also dealt with strain, stress, anger, and guilt. It's difficult to imagine being able to navigate this road without a lot of support or without faith that God has a plan and that something better is coming.
I applaud Steve and the Music For The Soul team for another great project. Go to their web site to get "Dignity" and to see the other cds that are available. It would also be a great place to learn how you can support MFTS's work. (http:www.musicforthesoul.org)
