Episode 3: The Summer on the Couch

from Nobody Told Me This Part: Caregiving, Loss, and What Comes Next · host Shelby DellaRosa

Why is it that you can easily summon the energy to do laundry, buy groceries, and manage your family's needs, but getting up to do something for yourself feels entirely impossible? In this episode, Shelby opens up about her own "summer on the couch" following the loss of her husband. She shares how her late mother's blanket, alongside endless loops of Love It or List It and House Hunters, became a necessary psychological sanctuary. If you are running on caregiver autopilot but feel completely paralyzed when it comes to your own self-care, this 10-minute episode will give your exhausted body permission to simply rest.
