Caring in the Now: The Partnership of Caring for Them and Yourself

The best care partnerships honor two people-  the one you’re caring for, and the one doing the caring.

In this heartfelt conversation, Gwen, a devoted mother, licensed practical nurse, and sole care partner for her 80-year-old mother, shares the lessons she’s learned from a lifetime of caring for others. From her service on the deacon board at Greater Zion Hill Baptist Church to her 34-year nursing career, Gwen’s commitment to helping others runs deep. She reflects on the importance of self-care for care partners, the true meaning of partnership in caregiving, and the power of embracing loved ones for who they are today, rather than who they once were. Gwen’s story is a moving reminder that caringfor others begins with caring for yourself.
