Alarms and Blessings: Caring for a terminally ill loved one and surviving the Medical Community
This podcast is about debilitating disease that ends in death 100% of the time—it is a personal journey and, in our case, it was the diagnosis of dementia given to my wife a little over 4 years ago--- but in your case, it may be another disease such as ALS, Alzheimer’s, of any kind of Cancer or Heart Disease. I will tell you about the stupid things I did over and over. I will tell you the lessons my wife and the universe were trying to teach me and how many times I did not listen or see it even when it was right in front of me. I will tell you of the ignorance of the medical establishment. I will tell you about your responsibility to the one you care for and to yourself which is just as important. I will tell as best I can about compassion, true compassion, love and true love.
