Ever wondered what it's like to be a caregiver? In this episode of the UK Health Radio Podcast, the trio of sisters - JJ Elliott Hill, Natalie Elliott Handy, and Emilie Elliott - share their deeply personal experiences supporting their mum with Parkinson's disease and a husband who survived cancer. The show, 'Confessions of a Reluctant Caregiver,' is packed with real-life stories, guest interviews, and practical advice for anyone finding themselves in a caregiving role.
Their guest, Nick Gaylord, host of 'Our Dead Dads' podcast, brings his own perspective on dealing with the death of a parent and the complexities of caregiving. Nick's candid reflections on his relationship with his father add a layer of raw honesty to the conversation, making it relatable for many. The sisters don't shy away from the tough parts - they talk about the reluctance, the frustrations, and the unexpected moments that come with caregiving.
But they also highlight the strength and resilience that caregivers often don't realise they have. With humour and heart, they offer support and encouragement to those in similar situations. If you're looking for a mix of laughter, tears, and valuable insights into caregiving, this episode is a must-listen.
