Today on Finding Calm Seas in Turbulent Times, George, a father, cancer caregiver and my husband will be sharing his experience being a caregiver. Having a family member get a diagnosis of cancer or other health challenges is tough. Becoming a caregiver to that person at that moment is also a major life change. More than 50 million Americans serve as caregivers, 86% of those care for a relative. As a caregiver, you are now trying to figure out your new life after being told someone you love will be fighting for their life.  How will you work though this and find the balance moving forward? I hope this episode gives you some of those answers.
