On today’s episode, the PWS United podcast team spoke with two moms, Mandy Kemp, mom to Samantha (5, living with PWS) and Lynn Garrick, mom to John (almost 20, living with PWS). Some of what is discussed will resonate with many families, whether or not you’re a single caregiver, and other points speak directly to issues of being  a single caregiver, like carrying the mental load all day every day, isolation, trusting others to care for your loved one so you may find a piece of yourself again, or simply finding time for a much-needed nap. They also talk about how and why to give yourself grace, adapting the in-home culture to fit the needs of the family and having pride in what is created. This episode is the first of our mini-series focusing on single caregivers, and it’s a beautiful, insightful look into a few of the many ways families are formed.   Links: Libby - Welcome Love Is a Family book by Roma Downey Love Is a Family: Downey, Roma: 9780060393748: Amazon.com: Books
