The Caregiver’s Limbo: Living in the Space Between "Then" and "Next"

Caregiving ends. But no one prepares you for what comes after. Not the silence. Not the space. Not the feeling of standing somewhere between the life you were living… and the one you’re supposed to build next. In this final episode of the Women & Caregiving series, created in honor of International Women’s Month, Thérèse explores what it truly feels like to live in that in-between. The loss of structure. The loss of role. And the quiet, often disorienting experience of reconnecting with yourself after years of putting someone else first. This isn’t about moving on quickly. And it’s not about having everything figured out. It’s about understanding that this space— this “limbo”— is part of the process. And that, slowly… life begins again from here. If you’ve ever felt like you’re living between “then” and “next”… this episode is for you. 👉 “Join our growing community at NewYorkGirlAgain.com—because you don’t have to navigate ‘the after’ alone.”
