## Resource

Erna and Megan talk with Lisa Valentine Clark about caring for her late husband, Dr. Christopher Clark, who was diagnosed with ALS. Lisa emphasizes the need to share experiences and the legacy of love that caregiving can create, even in the face of adversity. The conversation serves as a reminder of the strength found in vulnerability and the connections formed through shared experiences. She offers three core takeaways for caregivers: give yourself grace, accept help from your community, and speak openly about caregiving to support others facing similar journeys. If you want to learn more about Lisa Valentine Clark, you can find her podcast "The Lisa Show" wherever you get your podcasts.
