Caregiver Erin Walsh joins host Jeff Sammut to share the deeply personal story of caring for both of her parents from a distance. She opens up about the emotional and practical realities of sharing caregiving responsibilities with her siblings—from figuring out how to divide the work to navigating difficult decisions together. Erin recounts what it was like to move both of her parents multiple times, keep track of their medications, and adapt as their needs changed. She also reflects on retiring and finding herself with more time to devote to her parents, and the ways caregiving reshaped her days and priorities. Through it all, Erin speaks candidly about the joys, challenges and emotional weight of being there for the people who once cared for her. She also shares how she makes space for herself, finds moments of respite, and remembers that caring for a loved one also means finding ways to care for yourself.
