Beautiful and heart wrenching poem, Victoria. Thank you for all these incredible resources. I look forward to watching this documentary.

Caring for ourselves is fundamental to caring for others but that isn’t the norm.

Yours and so many other Substack’s and now this growing awareness will hopefully change how we view caregiving. ❤️

Thanks, Janine. The interview with Michelle Obama is good. I hadn't realised that Lauren and Seth Rogen had championed this awareness and Hilarity for Charity. It's good to see people using their voice and platform for the good of others.

What a great Caregivers resource list, I'm working my way through it. The Seth Rogen doc has been on my list, this'll push me to view it sooner. Your poem, the pain is visceral. (and thank you, for including my resource list. I'm humbled. And grateful.)

Always welcome, Jodi. I've not managed to watch the Hilarity for Charity event (2018) on Netflix yet - the comedy trailer looked good. The documentary of their experience with Lauren's Mother requires tissues.

BTW I LOVE your new 'About' page - it deserves a share of its own!
