You Can’t Make This Up: Finding Humor in Hard Times of Caregiving
Manage episode 408891790 series 3430082
This week, we're giving you all an update on our caregiving journeys—kind of like a quarterly catch-up! We chat about the hurdles of advocating for our mom's medical needs and getting her to appointments. By sharing our stories, we hope to help you learn about Medicaid benefits and the importance of speaking up. We also dive into the emotional side of caregiving, from tough moments to finding humor and healing through sharing tales.
We get real about family dynamics as our sister Emilie steps back from caregiving. We respect her decision while recognizing the changes it brings. We touch on experiences with hospice care, the financial strains on caregivers, and our push for tax credits to honor unpaid family caregivers. Throughout, we aim to uplift and connect with you by sharing our honest caregiving highs and lows.
On a personal note, Natalie opens up about her worries about her husband Jason's upcoming cancer scans. Even with palliative care, the shadow of cancer affects our marriage. In the end, this episode is all about community, self-care, and navigating the maze of caring for our loved ones.
