When You’re Too Tired to Be Strong: A Quick Pep Talk for Caregivers.
I know exactly what this feels like.
Still under the covers, running on empty, wondering how you’re supposed to keep going when everything just feels… heavy. Like a cinder block sitting on your chest.
Let me tell you… You’re not failing. You’re not weak.
You’re exhausted. You’ve been carrying the weight of the world for someone you love, and it’s okay if today feels like too much.
You don’t need to leap out of bed with a superhero cape.
- You just need to breathe.
- Wiggle your toes.
- Take that first step.
Small, quiet steps— they count too. They’re still steps forward.
You’ve done hard things before — impossible things, even. And today? You’ll do what you can. That’s more than enough.
God sees the tears you haven’t cried yet. He hears the prayers you can’t even manage to form into words.
And He’s right there — beside you in the dark, wrapping you up in grace when strength feels out of reach.
So if all you do today is get up, drink some water, and love your people the best you can…
Then you’ve done great work. Hint: Most superheroes don’t actually wear capes.
You’re not alone. You’re not invisible. And you are absolutely not done.
Take today moment by moment.
You’ve got this — not because it’s easy, but because you are strong as hell.
One foot, then the other.
Let’s go. ❤️
