This week an article was published on AARP’s website, which included a little insight into my caregiving journey among a few other humans with which I am honored to be included.
The article, Family Caregiving: A View From the Inside, an oral history of toil, toll โ and loving devotion, includes a variety of caregiver perspectives on when we first noticed things were changing, navigating the complex service system, dealing with finances, what caregiving is really like, how to cope, and finding joy.

Thanks to AARP for their steadfast commitment to family caregivers and not only increasing awareness about the challenges of caregiving in today’s America, but also working to improve our status ๐๐๐
