My Caring role included teaching Simon how to read and home-schooling him in a variety of subjects after his school said he wouldn't be able to be educated. My position as a Family Carer was a dual one, caring for Simon whilst also caring for my late husband, Peter who lived with Schizophrenia and, in recent years, dementia.A lifelong practicing Christian, I have always sought out a local church no matter where we have lived. These church communities and God have been my refuge and strength during testing and emotional times.For me, the biggest source of strength, love and inspiration has been the Lord Jesus. It is my Faith in the Lord that has spurred me on to participate in campaigning, initiatives and Caring groups to help improve the lives of my fellow Carers. I have also had the privilege of writing and publishing articles about my experiences educating Simon in magazines and publications related to Caring, for example in The Nursing Times and Community Living.ver menos
