221 - Caring For a Caregiving Spouse (feat. the hubby!)


Listen Later

Caring for a caregiving spouse is not a topic I’ve discussed on this show. Not directly. I was pleasantly surprised when my hubby told me he had an idea for an episode. To be fair, I don’t need someone to feed me ideas, but I listened. You’ll be glad I did because his idea was gold.
My Mom died at the start of the pandemic, and life kind of went on the way it was unfolding back in March of 2020. We haven’t had a lot of conversations about our feelings, but that changes with this episode.
Today I chatted with the other half, the behind-the-scenes guy, about his relationship with my Mom how he felt about her disease, and how he saw his role in her care. It’s an interesting and informative conversation that I’m sure you’ll enjoy. It’s my goal to share more of our story while bringing you actionable tips.
