Season 1 Reflections
<p>Sarah Trott joins Brenda for the final episode of the season to help reflect on the lessons our incredible guests have shared with us. Brenda takes us on one final journey of what infancy to adulthood is like for those caring for children with disabilities and complex needs. Caregiving for children can be some of the lengthiest caregiving journeys out there and these caregivers protect, advocate, teach, embrace and celebrate like no other! Heartfelt thanks go out to all of our guests for being so open and sharing their stories with us this season. A special thank you to all of our listeners as well.

Soaring Families
<p>Children grow up to eventually become independent, move out and lead their own lives. What happens when your adult child doesn't have the ability to do those things? How do their parents navigate their care for the rest of their lives? What happens if they are still caring for their adult child into their 50s and 60s, or even their 70s and 80s? What happens if one, or worse, both of the parents become ill and require care themselves? The options are limited. Some have no choice but to move their children to assisted living, if they can last through the lengthy wait lists. Others, like Mike George and his wife Jan, asked themselves those questions, navigated an illness among one of them and became proactive about creating a plan and a team to support their son at home for the rest of his life. Now, they share that plan with other caregivers in similar circumstances through their program "Soaring Families".
