February 23, 2021For All the Caregivers
Caregiving has always been hard work … and heart work. It has always been challenging, rewarding, grueling and life-giving. It has always been work worth doing, and work whose worth is challenged or hard to quantify. And adding COVID to the mix didn’t help.
This episode is filled with stories from caregivers — people who were thrust into this role by COVID or found the role further complicated by COVID. It is a reminder that you are not alone, even when you are bone-achingly lonely. It’s a piece of recognition and appreciation for all of you.

It’s not just dying that is hard. It's not just the prospect of death. It's the recognition of it. It’s the conversation around it ... which is often no conversation at all. In this episode, we talk with Dr. Sunita Puri about care at the end of life — and why we need to start having those tough conversations.
