Navigating Grief and Creating New Holiday Memories with Caregiver, Rachel O'Brien

Send us Fan Mail

In this week's episode, I interviewed my good friend and fellow caregiver who has walked through this journey and shared much wisdom with me about caregiving, parenting, and grieving loss while still moving forward with her own life, goals, and purpose.

Rachel's story is encouraging, inspiring, and heart-felt. She shares how she was intentional with her time, created and maintained boundaries, and practiced self-care in the midst of her mom's last few months on earth.

She also shares how grief has changed in the years since her mom passed away and how she continues to remember her without feeling stuck in her grief.
