About this listen

 This episode delves into the emotional challenges faced by care partners and highlights the crucial role of having an advocate in medical settings. Whether dealing with a planned surgical procedure or an unexpected medical emergency, family members may often feel helpless and vulnerable. Trusting medical professionals to care for your loved one is essential, yet this trust can sometimes be tested. It is important to recognize the need for an advocate, especially for older adults.

Mary Anne Oglesby-Sutherly emphasizes the significance of appointing someone you trust to assist not only with medical and psychological decisions for your loved one but also to support you during this challenging time.
