Episode 34: The Reminder Nobody Sees You Give

On being her backup without ever making her feel like a childThere's a kind of caring that never gets talked about. It's not the dramatic stuff. It's the quiet, daily reminding, the appointment she's forgotten, the medication sitting unopened, the help she already has but doesn't remember she can use. And it's the tightrope you walk every single time: how do I remind her without making her feel like she's failing? In this episode I talk about the invisible labour of being someone's memory, the guilt that comes with it, and how we can hold our grown children up without holding them back. If you're the one who remembers everything so they don't have to, this one's for you.
