Transitions: Megan

As we start wrapping up the season, Erna interviews Megan about caregiving transitions she has experienced. We discuss what might be ahead for Megan with her caregiving responsibilities for growing children and aging parents. The take home from this episode is to be present and accepting of where we are, regardless of whether it fits what we wanted or imagined.  The quote of the week is by James Baldwin: “Not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced.” Many caregivers can relate to the experience of just having to go through, because sometimes that is the only choice.  Megan mentioned once of James Baldwin's short stories--she called it "Sonny's Song," but it is called "Sonny's Blues." It is a beautiful story and worth checking out.  Our news of the can be found here: https://fortune.com/well/2024/05/20/health-care-low-trust-health-literacy-cvs/ This article had sobering statistics about health literacy and how far we need to go in ensuring individuals have access to and can understand the health care system in the United States.  Thank you for listening. We look forward to engaging with you more on social media and other outlets.
