Schizophrenia - Through a Mother’s Eyes a Conversation with Simonetta Carr - a podcast by MARKINC Ministries

When a son, sister, or grandchild begins to behave in unexpected and
disturbing ways, family members hope it is simply a phase. For some, it is
instead a life-time illness – schizophrenia.

The diagnosis of schizophrenia can bring shock, fear, and worry to everyone
involved. But in the midst of the numerous challenges, hope doesn’t have to
die. (Broken Pieces and the God Who Mends Them by Simonetta Carr)

In this conversation with Sharon Betters, Simonetta Carr shares the story
of her beloved son, Jonathan, and her experience of caring for him as he
struggled with schizophrenia. Simonetta doesn’t sugarcoat the enormous
challenges and emotions that were non-stop. She talks about how she
fervently prayed for Jonathan, the fears she had to confront, and how the
church came alongside Jonathan and her in this battle. You may not have a
loved one with schizophrenia but Simonetta and Jonathan’s story will give
you insight into the enormous battle facing families with such a diagnosis.

You can learn more about schizophrenia and find numerous helpful resources
in Simonetta’s book, Broken Pieces and the God Who Mends Them,
Schizophrenia Through a Mother’s Eyes.
