My Mother: The Person and the Patient

Episode 20: When 'You're So Strong' Isn't Enough: Coping with Caregiver Stress


Listen Later

In this episode, I delve into the emotional toll of caregiving and the stress it can cause for those who take on this vital role. I share my personal experience of supporting my mother through illness and the difficulties I faced along the way, including the pressure to be strong and its impact on me. I also examine the stigma surrounding caregiver stress. The societal expectations placed on women to have a natural instinct for mothering and the additional burden this can create. Tune in to hear an honest and heartfelt story about the challenges and rewards of caregiving as both a mother and a daughter, and the need for more understanding and resources for caregivers everywhere.
