Issue 7 : May 11, 2025

I’ve noticed that for many of us, our daily jobs feel small and sometimes meaningless in the face of the current political crisis. “How can I be expected to do customer service while people are being taken off the street?”

Caregivers can’t afford to check out. They have to continue doing the seemingly mundane tasks of taking care of someone else all while living the news along with the rest of us.

This week I asked four caregivers “What does it feel like to be a caregiver right now? What feels especially hard? Where are you finding hope? What do you wish more people understood about the experience?”

They all answered with extreme honesty, power and generosity. I am so excited for you all to read their words.
