Lifeline Devotionals, a subsidiary of Eternal Enterprizes, introduces a faith-based devotional designed specifically for caregivers facing the challenges of Alzheimer’s and dementia. Created by Karie Peters, an author and seasoned nurse with firsthand caregiving experience, this devotional aims to provide spiritual guidance and practical support to individuals navigating the complexities of caring for loved ones affected by these conditions.
Karie Peters’ journey into the Alzheimer’s caregiving world began when her mother-in-law was diagnosed and moved into their home. As the family’s full-time caregiver, Peters encountered a world previously foreign to her. Throughout this period, and prior to becoming a nurse, she relied heavily on her faith and found strength in Scripture, which inspired her to develop a devotional tailored to those enduring similar circumstances. The devotional incorporates Bible verses that supported her during her caregiving journey, offering readers encouragement and a spiritual framework to confront the emotional and physical demands of their roles.
Peters has been a nurse for over seven years. She is a Daisy Award-winner, and has extended her expertise beyond her personal caregiving experience. Alongside her husband, she has traveled across the United States, assisting patients and churches, guided by their faith and commitment to service. This broad perspective enriches the devotional, blending practical caregiving advice with spiritual reflection.
Lifeline Devotionals stands apart by focusing on the emotional realities caregivers face, including feelings of anger, frustration, loneliness, and compassion. The devotional acknowledges these complex emotions and encourages caregivers to channel them through prayer and faith. It offers daily verses and caregiving tips, aiming to transform moments of despair into opportunities for spiritual victory and knowledge.
The devotional also addresses the unmet need for faith-centered caregiving resources. Peters emphasizes that caregivers are not alone in their journey, even when they may feel isolated. “This devotional was created for the person dealing with caregiving, Alzheimer’s or dementia. Relevant verses will show you it is okay to be angry and frustrated, to cry and to show compassion. You may feel alone, and it is easy to forget God is right there with you in the process,” Peters said.
Lifeline Devotionals promotes a caregiving approach that integrates faith and practical care techniques. By starting each day with prayer and reflection on Scripture, caregivers are encouraged to find guidance and peace amid the challenges they face. The devotional offers tools and hope for those currently in the caregiving role and for those processing unresolved feelings from past experiences.
Eternal Enterprizes, the parent company, supports this mission by fostering resources that combine faith and practical help for families and communities. Lifeline Devotionals represents a step toward bridging spiritual support and caregiving knowledge, ensuring caregivers have access to resources that honor both aspects of their journey.
