Welcome to the 13th episode of Caregiver Diaries!

Here is a story about an invisible warrior, who along with her husband - a Parkinson's patient for over 16 years, overcomes new obstacles each day. The uncertainty of what the illness would bring was one such challenge. She observes how her husband started to withdraw, a complete contrast in his personality. Their children too found it difficult to see their father push them away. 

"It was difficult for me to cope... I could see no light at the end of the tunnel, I survived only because I had so much support from our loved ones."  Hope, support from friends and family, and counseling helped make life better. Following a routine and practicing yoga are few things she does for her own well-being.

Hear her talk about her journey, how hope keeps a caregiver going!

Sharing your story helps understand yourself — feelings, passions, hopes. It lightens the load and offers relief from loneliness, anxiety, anger or guilt. Our experiences and hopes can benefit others - to know that the challenges are the same, learn new ways to cope and care… they aren’t alone but part of a team.
