Suffering if affecting my relationship with God today, and has for the past few years. I struggle with what I truly believe is God's call for me to help care for my friend, who has dementia. But I feel ill equipped for the task and its symptoms and behaviors often take me by surprise. I don't do so well with surprise. So I do what Rev. Trish advises, as LAMENT. I do believe God is big enough to take it. I pray to trust that God is big enough to guide me through it. And honestly, for the most part God does. Nothing is as big a deal as I tend to think it is at the time it happens.
