A lot of people hear words like palliative care, hospice, and end-of-life care and immediately shut down because it feels like admitting something they’re not ready to say out loud. But these conversations matter. Knowing the difference, knowing who to talk to, and knowing where to go for support can make a huge difference for both the patient and the family. Sometimes the hardest part is just saying, “We need to talk about this.” The sooner you do, the sooner you can get support, answers, and help figuring out what comes next. This is from my full conversation with Chelsey Ernst, PA-C — @YourPalliativePA.

There’s a difference between being needed by your spouse and feeling wanted by them. Parkinson’s has taken a lot from our marriage, and sometimes I have to remind myself that what I’m angry at is the disease, not my wife. #CaregiverLife #SpousalCaregiver #Parkinsons #CaregiverLoneliness #Caregiving

Maybe part of loving somebody with Parkinson’s is learning that you don’t always have to fix the problem. Sometimes you just hold them and ride out the storm together. - @theparkdoc #ParkinsonsDisease #YoungOnsetParkinsons #Dyskinesia #ParkinsonsCaregiver #CaregiverLife
