Caregiver shares her experience during COVID-19: ‘Self-care is at a minimum’
In this time of social distancing and isolation, one job that has become more challenging is caregiving – whether professionally, or more informally for a spouse or family member.
May is Mental Health Month, so MPR News host Cathy Wurzer has been asking caregivers how they manage their stress — especially during this pandemic.
Nancy Saunders is a caregiver for her husband, David, who has advanced ALS, a motor neuron disease that paralyzes muscles needed for moving, eating and breathing. She talked with Cathy about what that experience is like right now.
This coverage is part of Call to Mind, our MPR initiative to foster new conversations about mental health.
