Why I am Expanding What It Means to be a Mighty Caregiver
When Mighty Caregivers first started, the focus was on people caring for others in visible, demanding roles. And that work still matters deeply. But along the way, something became clear. Caregiving isn’t limited to a title, a job, or a diagnosis. Every day, people show up quietly for someone—or something—that matters to them. A family member. A friend. A calling. A community. A season of life that requires extra care. That’s why I have embraced this truth: If you care for someone, we see you. We recognize how important you are. This community is meant to be a place where: - You don’t have to prove how much you carry - Your care doesn’t have to look like anyone else’s - Your story matters, even if you’re still figuring it out Mighty Caregivers is about recognizing care in all its forms—and reminding one another that showing up counts. I recently added Jeremy's Confessions Tab. I love this and hope you get inspired. This is my chance to express what I care about. The journey to including my confessions made me realize this is not a support group. I am not trying to fix with caregiver tips. My confessions allow me to share my caregiver experience with you so we can engage in a meaningful conversation along the way. I hope that Capes will allow you to share your stories and experiences. I love this space because it will allow you to share with others what you care about as a caregiver. I hope that you can post your experiences as a caregiver and see that people can see how important you are. I am also very excited to introduce the Mighty Caregiver Podcast. This has been a long time coming and I think it has found a place in this community. I am hopeful to start interviewing caregivers in the near future. Mighty Caregivers is a ministry at Edge UMC in Groveland, Florida. I have introduced a tab to encourage support by making a charitable donation so Mighty Caregivers can continue to make strides to help Mighty Caregivers in all our communities. Thank you for being here. Thank you for caring. You already wear the cape.
