Caregiving for a sick loved one is a multilayered journey, where emotional, physical, emotional, social, and financial health intersect. Yet, our healthcare and other systems often overlook the diverse realities caregivers face. I’ve been a full-time caregiver for a parent after a stroke and heart attack, while simultaneously managing my own complex medical needs. I’m also a health professional with training in aging, biology, and religion. I draw from my personal experiences and my professional expertise to offer simple strategies for filling, rather than emptying, your tank so that your best self can help others be theirs.
