Caregiving can quietly reshape a family, shifting roles, responsibilities, and relationships in ways that are often hard to name. It can bring people closer, but it can also surface distance, guilt…
So I think my, my first question to you today is, before your grandmother became somebody that you cared for, w- who was your grandmother to you?
She would take care of me, um, probably us, too, like, uh, when our parents would go to work.
[lip smack] And back in her day, she was a teacher, so she always loved to just, you know, help me with my homework, um, and things like that.
A consistent presence, you know, and it's so hard when that shifts for us, where the care-- the person who's consistently the caretaker for us suddenly is the one that needs care, right? And so I guess that's my, my next point of question, which is, you know, for you, Chris, you became your grandmother's full-time caretaker at a, at a relatively young age.
And, you know, can you take us back to that moment in time where that became your reality and, and what that felt like for you?
