On this heartfelt episode of Sandwich Stories, host Lexie Callies sits down with Rachel Kerr to explore one of the most difficult questions we face: How do you keep living when someone you love is dying? Through honest reflection and shared experience, they talk about caregiving, grief, and finding presence and grace during life’s hardest moments.
Rachel shares her experience supporting her husband, John, who was diagnosed with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), also known as Lou Gehrig's disease, a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells controlling voluntary muscle movement.
Rachel shares how this event impacted not only her, but her young children as well.
She is you and you are her. One day you wake up and suddenly you look around and realize your life is…complicated. You’re sandwiched between caring for and navigating aging parents…while still trying to raise your young family. Join me, Lexie Callies on Sandwich Stories: Stories From the Sandwich Generation with Lexie Callies.
