#8 This Caregiver's Watchlist.
Leaning into high notes, glimmers and comfort-watching
Hello, dear Readers. I’m Victoria (She/her/hers). I cared for my Dad through to his passing (the hellish dark days with grains of joy), and now I look after Mum (calmer waters, with moments of joy and several giggles). You can read more about why I’m publishing Carer Mentor here: Who Started Carer Mentor and Why?’
This is the eighth Caregiver’s Watchlist article. You can browse through the others in the ComfortZone here. I shared the premise for the Caregiver’s Watchlist series here.
It’s been a bit of a rollercoaster last month, for reasons I’ll share in an article soon. For now, I’m leaning into finding glimmers, comfort and gratitude. Some of my Go-To’s, as you may already know, are
music, especially amazing singers and musicians,
good shows, films and series focused on complex human relationships and moral beauty
and who doesn’t love cute puppies
Enjoy this list.

I’m pretty sure you will want to see this, if you haven’t already!He shares what it was like auditioning for the role, the ways he connected with Kevin’s journey, and how the experience shaped his life both personally and professionally. Justin also reflects on the close bonds he formed with the cast, opens up about life after the show, gives us a glimpse into what he’s working on now, and so much more!

I highly recommend the amazing ensemble show This Is Us. It’s an American drama television series created by Dan Fogelman that aired on NBC from September 20, 2016, to May 24, 2022, that’s six seasons.
I loved the show because it’s great acting, exploring human relationships, challenges and weaknesses. Some of the main actors created this rewatch podcast.
