Daphne Reiley, Co-Author of A Tapestry of Love, the Spirituality of Caregiving

Co-Authors Daphne Reiley and Joseph LaGuardia work with caregivers on a virtually day to day basis. Daphne provides spiritual support to caregivers in various settings – over the phone, in person, and in group settings. Joe is a full-time pastor at Trinity Baptist Church in Conyers, GA and offers caregivers support through one-to-one spiritual direction as well as being a resource for information about support groups in the area. The authors have created a website dedicated to their recently published book A Tapestry of Love: The Spirituality of Caregiving, providing their insights into the spiritual struggles facing caregivers as well as links to resources – both written and online.

In writing A Tapestry of Love, the two authors have provided a tool for caregivers in their spiritual journeys. Caregivers often have difficulty staying connected with God as well as often feeling isolated and prone to exhaustion, loneliness, depression, anger and resentment. Within its pages, A Tapestry of Love introduces spiritual practices helpful to caregivers and others in finding spiritual resources for the endurance and strength necessary to make the journey of caregiving a fulfilling one.

Hi-Hope Service Center provides services to adults with developmental disabilities in Gwinnett County. Over 50 years ago the parents of six young students from Gwinnett County founded one of the first organizations in Georgia to teach children with intellectual disabilities. The Hi-Hope Service Center, formerly known as Gwinnett County Association for Retarded Citizens, was incorporated as a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation in 1960. Under the capable leadership of Vinie Lowry, and support from many parents and the greater Gwinnett community, construction of a special needs school was completed in 1970. In the late 1990s when all student programs, including the pre-school program, were integrated into the public schools, Hi-Hope successfully transitioned to an organization supporting developmentally disabled adults. Currently, Hi-Hope supports 108 individuals through its weekday community access, employment and residential group home programs.
