What If We Outlive Our Parents? A Real Talk About Caregiving

In Episode 7 of Unfiltered with Reyes & Victor, we have one of the most emotional and important conversations we’ve had so far: what happens if we outlive our parents?For many people with disabilities, parents are more than just parents. They are caregivers, protectors, advocates, and the people who understand our daily needs better than anyone else. Some people only have one parent. Some have both. Some have siblings, family, or other support systems. But the fear is still real: who will take care of us if they are no longer here?In this episode, we talk about caregiving, disability, family, future planning, fear, love, and the emotional weight that parents carry when they wonder what life will look like for their child after they are gone.This is not a negative conversation. It is an honest one. Some topics are uncomfortable, but they need to be discussed. And this is one of them.
