Friend of Brain Support Network and local caregiver Laurie recently lost her husband. (He was initially diagnosed with multiple system atrophy but the diagnosis changed to Parkinson’s disease after he lived for so long.) She wrote some “final reflections on caregiving,” that we are sharing with permission. All caregivers, regardless of the disorder they are coping with or whether they are spouses or adult children, will find something worthwhile here.Laurie’s Final Reflections on Caregiving
