From Partner to Caregiver

For years, Kim Moy cared for her kids and husband, while helping
to care for her parents – an experience she describes as being in
a “pressure cooker.” Being a caregiver to any loved one can be
emotionally draining, but caring for a spouse can be a whole new
level of lonely. In our final conversation of the season, Kim
talks about the tradeoffs of being a spousal caregiver, grieving
the loss of someone who’s still there, and how she’s learned to
let go of the way things used to be. 


Kim Moy’s Caregiver Wisdom offers resources and workshops for
those who take care of loved ones with chronic debilitating
illnesses. Learn about the monthly support group, workshops, and
one-on-one coaching here. 


Dr. Pauline Boss coined the term ambiguous loss, which Kim talks
about in the episode. Learn more about ambiguous loss and Dr.
Boss at ambiguousloss.com. 


This season of Uncared For is presented by the Commonwealth Fund,
a nonprofit foundation making grants to promote an equitable,
high-performing health care system.
