Selah Ruth’s
💜 A Place for Peace — The Heart Behind Selah Ruth’s Sanctuary
When Marie’s mother began showing signs of early dementia, she promised to keep her at home as long as she could. Every morning, Marie helped her get dressed, made her favorite tea, and listened to the same stories — some repeated three or four times before breakfast.
She loved her mother deeply. But over time, the exhaustion crept in — sleepless nights, missed workdays, and the quiet ache of doing everything alone.
One afternoon, while folding laundry, Marie broke down in tears. She wasn’t crying because she didn’t want to care for her mom — she cried because she didn’t know how to rest without feeling guilty.
That’s when she heard about Selah Ruth’s Sanctuary House — a place designed for families like hers. A home where loved ones could stay safely and comfortably for a few days while caregivers took time to breathe, heal, and just be.
When Marie brought her mother to Selah Ruth’s for the first time, she was greeted by the warmth of fresh-baked cookies, soft music, and gentle smiles. Her mom laughed with another guest about their favorite hymns while Marie quietly stepped outside, sat in her car, and exhaled for the first time in months.
She took a weekend for herself — slept in, took a walk by the water, and returned renewed, knowing her mother had been cared for with love and dignity.
That’s the heart of Selah Ruth’s Sanctuary House — a place where needs are met and smiles are kept.
Because sometimes, love means knowing when to rest — and trusting that your loved one is in good hands.
