On Tuesday February 12th at 1:00 pm we welcome Dr. Loren Olson to our ‘Be A Healthy Caregiver’ show. Dr. Olson is the author of ‘Finally Out : Letting Go of The Straight Life, A Phsychiatrist’s Own Story.’ Dr. Olson will be talking about his book, along with his upcoming appearances in Florida as well as his unexpected Caregiving experience.
Through Dr. Olson’s expertise, we will all learn how to ‘Be A Healthy Caregiver’
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.
