Caring for our loved ones can be a most rewarding gift to our loved ones and ourselves, or quite daunting. In this episode, Rayna shares her experience and insights on how to make the most of our time with our aging parents and how to work within a team for your own good and theirs. She is honest about the need for us to protect ourselves and our time so that once our parents pass, we have our own life still intact. She has written a book for caregivers, hosts a podcast and does coaching to support and guide people in their season of caregiving. 

She has been quoted as saying, "There is finality that’s coming as you walk with them to the end, but there doesn’t have to be hopelessness in it all. Everyone ages, and you will reach the end of your life someday, and that’s okay. There can be joy, hope, and love in the midst of this final journey."
