In this caregiver spotlight episode, meet Margaret Fitzpatrick from Chicago who found her experience as a Registered Nurse and Nurse Anesthetist to greatly help her as a family caregiver. She cared for both of her parents as they aged into their 90's and helped care for her ex-husband...after she was remarried. In this show we talk about sharing the care with siblings (Margaret has 15 siblings!), guilt, caregiver burnout, when to call 911, palliative care and the greatest gift you can offer a loved one.
