Did my dad really join me at Madison Square Garden during the NBA Finals?
As a dementia caregiver, grief has shaped every part of my life. After losing my father, I unexpectedly became my mother's caregiver—a journey that changed everything.
On my dad's birthday, I traveled alone to Madison Square Garden to watch the New York Knicks play in the NBA Finals. What happened next left me questioning coincidence, faith, intuition, and the powerful ways we stay connected to the people we love.
In this deeply personal and SPECIAL EDITION episode of Parenting Up I share how one unforgettable night became the greatest act of self-care I've ever experienced—and why caregivers deserve moments of healing too.
Whether you're caring for someone with Alzheimer's or dementia, grieving a loved one, or simply searching for hope, I hope this story reminds you that healing can show up in unexpected places.
