In this episode of the I Saved You. Now, Do the Dishes podcast, I share my thoughts around a recent AARP article about what to know before becoming a caregiver to your spouse—and why it left me feeling disappointed. While the article offers practical insights, I thought it was insensitive and degrading toward caregivers. The raw, human reality of what it means to stand by your partner through illness is shared by every generation today. And even though there are more Baby Boomer caregivers, I'm offering insight as a Generation Xer.
I share my own experiences of caregiving, highlighting the deeply personal and often painful conversations my husband and I had to have before he began treatment. From confronting difficult truths to learning how to live in the moment, this episode offers an honest glimpse into the emotional resilience and connection it takes to navigate a life-changing diagnosis together.
