Care Partner Reflections With Robert B. Weide

Caring for a loved one is a grueling journey that no care partner would ever turn away from. Bob Weide did not know what to expect when he started noticing little differences in his wife Linda’s balance and speech. He could not have known that these were the first symptoms of progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP), an uncompromising disease that requires seemingly endless amounts of patience and grace. Bob spoke to me almost two years after Linda’s death on the lessons he learned as a care partner, humor as a coping mechanism and the importance of grieving daily.
