Huffington Post Senior Writer Ann Brenoff writes about caregiving from the perspective of her own hard-earned truths. In today’s episode she describes her harrowing experience of going from having a full, active life with her husband to seeing him leveled by acute kidney failure and becoming the equivalent of his nurse. Ann also talks about what she’s hearing from other caregivers as a result of her column, why it’s important for caregivers to speak out and how she’s attempting to maintain a sense of normalcy in her kids’ lives despite their father’s condition. Tune in for a moving conversation with a spouse, mother and truth teller adjusting to a life she never imagined.
