Caring in America

With Podcast Host: Richard Wexler

Episode 97

“Caregivers always put their loved ones first…”

Does it feel like you are wearing heavy armor that you cannot take off?
You are not alone.

Sally’s research highlights how care partners put their loved one first, about their own health needs. But they need to remain healthy to continue to care…

Self-care is important, and can look different for each person, some of which may enjoy writing poems. Tune in to learn more about Sally’s discoveries and for stories from other care partners.

“For Everything…
I am her everything, but who am I now?…
Even when she is not with me, she is with me…
Because I wear a cloak of responsibility that cannot be shed…
It’s fabric is worn with love, loss, and grief…”

Our country is entering a new chapter, one we have never seen before… over 100 million people are 50 years of age or older, and the need for care is going to be more and more prevalent. We are dreaming of a nation where aging and care are understood and become part of our normal conversations with family.

To make this a reality, we need your help!
