This week, Jeannie shared her inspiring story and and experience as a mother with two children with special needs, how she started writing, and how and why she started her Grief Ministry and wrote her book, [Navigating Deep Waters: Meditations for Caregivers](http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1508441839/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=1508441839&linkCode=as2&tag=simplemama-20&linkId=EP3JCLZZRGDXEN23).

We chatted about the hardship that it can be for those who are full-time or even part-time caregivers for their family and loved ones as well as how people need to process grief. She shared great tips and suggestions for what we can do for those who are caring for long-term ill loved ones as well as those going through the grief process.
