Are you a first-time caregiver? Worried caregiving for a parent might be in your future? This week’s show offers a compass for navigating the bewildering, uncharted waters of caregiving for elderly parents. Our sherpa and guide is Kitty Eisele, an award-winning NPR journalist and host of 24/7: A Podcast About Caregiving. Kitty was thrust into a central caregiving role when her father experienced cognitive decline and emerged determined to help others navigate the myriad mental, physical, and organizational challenges that crop up when we need to “parent our parents.” Learn practical tips, how to find support, books + online resources, and tactical ideas for keeping all the balls in the air. Bonus! Kitty shares a candid look at the emotional challenges and unexpected beauty of caregiving.
