A Gift of Grace, Mercy & Compassion - Resilience Personified, Sandra Newman

Send us Fan MailSometimes the conversations that I have are pure fun. Sometimes informational. This time our conversation filled my heart with love and understanding. My friend Sandra Newman has been a part of my family for many years. We met years ago in a business venture and connected on a level that many won't understand.Sandra is a gift. She has the greatest gift of mercy and compassion. Her upbringing as the oldest child and preacher's kid laid the foundation of her commitment to her family. Sandra and Greg's eldest son, Zack was diagnosed with Deutschen Muscular Dystrophy at the age of 10. Sandra and Greg continued to take care of both their boys, Zach and Josh while running a successful Graphic Design and Photography business. Greg Newman, Sandra's husband of 31 years was diagnosed with Lewy Body Dementia. Greg was promoted to Heaven and on November 24,2021; Zach, 34 joined his dad.Sandra has been referred to as a caretaker. She will agree with that title - but will add that she was the one learning from those that she took care of. She is full of gratitude with a life she didn't plan. Sandra talks about her trust issues and that the experience of living, loving and taking care of her guys brings her to the ultimate trust in God. Sandra is working on her story. She advocates for caregivers "support them by being supportive". One dream is Eden's Wellspring - a group home for young adults over the age of 18, who are physical disabled. Eden's Wellspring will be a home for those to find their home outside of their parents.Sandra's advice "don't quit".I will never quit on you friend. It's an honor to know you. May those that listen add more compassion and mercy to their story. This show is about you - the listener and how you perceive the experiences you have. I am excited for you to get involved and share your story.Thanks for listening. If you enjoyed this podcast, the best compliment is a referral. Share with others and write us a review.
