You don’t have to do it alone
At Sacred Ground we understand what it’s like to have a family member or friend with a disability.
We understand the struggles and the joys that having a loved one with a disability can bring, and we strive to hold this paradox together. We believe that each life is sacred and that each person deserves a chance to discover and live out the gifts God has given them. We also understand that resources are limited in this world to help individuals and their families with disabilities thrive. Our aim is to be a trusted source for you in identifying the best options for your family.
You are the expert of your family
Disabilities impact the entire family, and you are the expert on your story. We value your experiences and understand that disabilities impact each family differently. We make it our goal to listen intently to what your experience has been, working to meet the needs of each individual family member. No one knows your story better than you, and it is our duty to provide services that match your individual family needs.
Sacred Ground is here for you.
We believe that when the family is thriving, the individual is thriving. Therefore, finding the emotional healing and connection you need is important. That can be difficult when you’re already trying to balance work and home life. Taking your loved one to appointments and finding a place you trust to take care of your loved one the way you do is overwhelming. It takes an emotional toll. We work to connect families that experience disabilities so you don’t have to face those challenges alone. Through day programs, support groups, and opportunities to connect with others who have similar experiences, we work to curb the anxiety you might feel and bring connectedness to you and your loved one as we celebrate together what God has given us.
It is normal to experience a range of emotions as you try to provide the best life for your loved one. We often hear these emotions expressed by families we work with:.
Guilt
“I’m not doing enough.” “This is my fault.”
Grief
“This is not how it’s supposed to be.”
Overwhelmed
People with disabilities and their families must organize and attend many appointments in their lifetime and at times it may seem unmanageable.
Anxiousness
Many families don’t have the money or the time to provide for their loved one.
Chronic Sorrow
The feeling that you will always be sad about the disability and the reality of life.
Immense Joy
Joy at the miracles you see in progress with your loved one
Wonderment at the beauty from ashes
We have all seen the beauty that comes from disability and the daily miracles around us as we live life with our loved ones.
