On Tuesday, April 2nd we welcome Cruise and Travel Specialist, Jerry Desmarais to our ‘Be A Healthy Caregiver’ show.
Jerry is a Certified Travel Accessible Advocate and has been instrumental in helping us plan our Caregiving Cruise for this coming November. Concerned about bringing your Caree on a cruise, Jerry will bring his knowledge and expertise on the Cruise and Travel Industry and how they provide for those of us with a special need to make traveling easy and comforting.
Through our conversation with Jerry today, his information and knowledge of the cruise and travel industry will help us all ‘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.
