Caregivers can be a dying breed. It is a startling statistic that 68% of caregivers die before their care recipient. This makes an excellent call to action for this episode on Celebrating Caregiving in America.
We release this episode during the holiday months of November and December because caregivers often find themselves even further isolated at this time. Listeners who know caregivers will learn about how to reach out to your caregiver friend, and caregivers, we want you to know how valued you are after listening in.
