The Forgotten Caregiver: Finding Hope When Someone You Love Is in Crisis with Amber J. Parker

The Forgotten Caregiver of Mental Crisis with special guest ‪@AmberJParker‬ When someone you love is battling trauma, PTSD, or suicidal thinking, the world often rushes to support them—but rarely asks, “How is the caregiver doing?” In this powerful episode, Zach sits down with ‪@AmberJParker‬ — Physician Assistant, military wife, speaker, and author of The Forgotten Caregiver of Mental Crisis. Drawing from her own journey through her husband’s suicide attempts and PTSD, Amber gives voice to the unseen emotional, spiritual, and physical toll carried by caregivers in mental crisis. Together, we explore: • What makes caregivers feel invisible and overwhelmed • The daily reality of living with a “ticking time bomb” • How trauma and suicidality affect both the individual and the caregiver • The guilt, fear, and exhaustion caregivers rarely admit • Practical strategies for responding in crisis without losing yourself • The importance of giving yourself permission to rest and heal • Where God meets us in the dark places • How to build resilience and hope in the middle of chaos Whether you are a caregiver yourself or love someone who is, this conversation offers validation, clarity, and a deep sense of you are not alone. Amber’s new book, The Forgotten Caregiver of Mental Crisis, is a lifeline for anyone carrying the weight of someone else’s pain—and longing for hope. Listen in and be encouraged. You weren’t made just to survive. You were created to experience a full life. Caregiver Check-In Quiz Link: ⁠https://choosejoyinthemidst.myflodesk... Connect with Amber J.
