Ep. 20 Gumption, Grit, & Gratitude
Meet Corrine Doughty, business woman, educator, caregiver.
Corrine shares her story... a 28-year caregiver's journey through unimaginable bad luck for her hard-working, illustrious mother, who always found a way to keep her head up and survive. The quote, "Don't ask for an easy life, but ask to be a strong person," never was more true in Corrine's and her mother's case.
We are forever in awe by our many guests' grit and gumption to give their parents the best part of themselves during the last years of their lives.
