A Shadow Friend Called Fear — In Caregiving and Beyond

Fear has a way of slipping in quietly and making itself at home. Through caregiving. Through loss. Through the “after.” In this deeply personal episode, Thérèse explores the many faces of fear that accompany the caregiving journey. She reflects on sleepless nights, difficult medical decisions, and the heightened vigilance of caregiving alone during COVID. She speaks candidly about the fear that lingered after her caregiving journey ended — fear of the future, identity, and how to begin again. This isn’t a clinical conversation. It’s a real and heartfelt one. Because fear often becomes a shadow friend for caregivers—constant, quiet, and rarely spoken about. If you’ve ever felt that silent weight and wondered if you were alone, this episode is a reminder that you’re not. 👉 Join the community at NewYorkGirlAgain.com and on social media to share your story.
