Hello Cathy! My name is Sabrina and I am 32 year old caregiver of my mom out in California. I came across your podcast on the Apple podcast app in search of help and resources on this new journey of mine. I, along with my dad, have been witness to my mom's long battle with her multiple chronic illnesses and just recently have had to make significant changes since her health took a big hit this past year. She within the last few months has been solely dependent on us both and it has been a struggle/adjustment for all of us. Your podcast sheds light on what all the caregivers of the world have to go through on a daily basis. Episode 239 with Cathie Gregory was so amazing and eye opening when she explained the three "I's" of caregiving. Thank you for being an advocate for us all and making me feel seen.❤️ God bless you and your husband and have a Merry Christmas!🩷
