Caller Struggling With "Normal" After Losing Mother to COVID-19, Caring for Aging Father, and Husband Losing His Vision.

What is "normal?" 

As caregivers, we discover that we have to make our own normal ...and trust that we can have meaningful moments and even joy in that "normal of our own making,." 

This caller and I discussed this in this clip from the show.

In addition, as she struggled with figuring out how to care for her aging father, I pointed her to this service that Gracie and I use. We can often use technology offload some (not all!) of the monitoring components of our caregiving responsibilites.
