Confessions of a Reluctant Caregiver with JJ Elliott Hill, Natalie Elliott Handy & Emilie Elliott - Episode 43

Episode 43,   Jul 03, 03:00 AM

We are a trio of sisters supporting our mom who is living with Parkinson's disease, and a husband who survived cancer.  We share the good, the bad, and the completely unbelievable of our caregiving journey. Through storytelling, guest interviews, and helpful information, JJ, Natalie, Emilie and their guests discuss their shared experiences. Viewers and listeners alike will relate to the reluctance, be affirmed in their ability to be a caregiver and gain the courage to step out of the shadows to confidently express their own needs. The goal is to instil hope by giving caregivers permission to share their thoughts and feelings in a safe and nurturing place. A judgment-free space where caregivers can be their most authentic selves, confessing their truths without shame or fear of rejection. Caregivers are sure to laugh, cry, and everything in between but in the end, all will leave feeling better for the journey and part of the sisterhood of care.

Episode 43 - At 22, Heidi cared for partner Curtis (24) after his young ALS diagnosis. They met as teens and stayed together through college until ALS symptoms appeared.  This brutally beautiful love story is one for the ages!
