Navigating the uncertain and emotional journey of becoming a caregiver for a loved one in their later years is a deeply personal and challenging experience. This episode shares my personal story of stepping up as a caregiver for my adoptive mother, who was battling age-related dementia. I talk about the logistical challenges, balancing her health needs while managing a life in a different city. Listen as I recount the decision to move her into a home specially built for her comfort, from finding the right property to managing her health care needs.The second half of this episode takes a deeper look into the emotional weight of caregiving, where I reflect on the transition of moving my mom into a memory care facility and the financial burden that came with it. I share the cathartic experience of sorting through her belongings post her passing, and how it served as a means of closure. While the journey was filled with moments of stress, responsibility, and sorrow, it was also about the bond we formed, the good moments shared, and the solace found in providing care for a loved one. This episode aims to provide not just practical tips for caregiving, but also a reminder of the emotional rollercoaster involved and how to find balance amidst it all.Support the showhttps://linktr.ee/beckaah
