I’m a firm believer that one way we can make society begin to work better for us in this situation is to be completely honest about our obstacles & difficulties. Suffering in silence serves nobody: not ourselves and not the folks we care for. I advise being as transparent as we can about our needs.

Hi friend! I’ve been a full-time caregiver for my parents for about a decade; I’m also a mom to a toddler and pregnant with my second. I advocate for and mentor fellow caregivers. To be honest, one great place to start is to remind yourself that it’s totally okay to just be in “survival” mode! 💚💚💚

That we are preparing to debate the personal and societal benefits of preventative healthcare - notably vaccines - is soul crushing. Our medical societies will play an even bigger critical role.
