Denise Brown is the host of “Table Talk” and has one of the most popular websites for Caregivers, Caregiving.com. In January of 2013, Denise interviewed Richard and me about Richard’s End of Life Wishes. Having a discussion about end of life wishes is one of the most difficult talks you can have with a Love one. I hope by you listening to this honest interview, you will find a path to have an honest conversation with the one you love when it comes to talk about end of life wishes!
You Might Know Me As The Bow Tie Guy - "Wearing a bow tie is like wearing two smiles."
When people ask me, "why did you create the Whole Care Network"... I always come back to our caregiving experience and how fortunate I was to find resources that helped me and my partner Richard Schiffer manage our caregiving journey. Every caregiver has a story; through our stories, we find validation, resources, and respite to help manage our caregiving day.
We were fortunate to have our story chronicled in a 2015 Pulitzer Prize-nominated 3-part story, “In Sickness and In Health: A Couple’s Final Journey,” which told our journey of caregiving. The story told of the challenges LGBT partners have in dealing with the medical and legal system, but it also told of the love and joy my partner Richard's last years had on our relationship.
