About 53 million Americans care for a spouse, an elderly parent, another relative, or a special needs child. Often, the call to caregiving for many of us is a big surprise when a loved one faces a sudden illness or has an accident. We don’t have time to plan. Frankly, we don’t have time to think about it, we just DO it. It’s a skillset that doesn’t come naturally to everyone, yet we rise to the occasion because we have no choice. Chances are we will all face this at one point or another in our lives if we haven’t already, especially if you are in midlife and your parents are getting older. It can be scary and exhausting, but we can learn from other women who have been caregivers. In today’s episode, we speak to women who have cared for their parents and to an expert about how to usher our loved ones out of this world with grace while maintaining our own strength and sanity.
