When so much of caregiving is unknowable—how long will this last? How will we afford it? What comes next?—where do we find solid ground? Denise explores what is certain in the midst of all that uncertainty: you. Your commitment. Your effort. Your resilience. Your ability to keep going, even when the storms are darkest. And how your refusal to pretend caregiving is fine is actually changing the conversation about what family caregivers need. This episode offers grounding and perspective for anyone caught in the exhausting cycle of searching for certainty in an inherently uncertain experience.
