EP 41 How Can You Say Good-Bye When You Haven’t Run Out Of Hellos? : Bruce Williams

Listen on Apple Podcasts

Todays’ guest, Bruce Williams, is a semi-retired Mechanical/Biomedical Engineer, inventor, and full-time caregiver for his wife of 33 years Ann. Listen as Mike and Bobbi discuss with Bruce his experiences caring for Ann, how they handle the feelings of isolation, and his battle not to be the second victim of the disease.  

“Happiness is fleeting as we know, and joy is longer term.”, says Bruce. “We wanted, I wanted, to try to maintain the quality of life that she set up for herself as long as I possibly could physically.”

More than 34 million Americans are providing care (or have done so within the past 12 months) to someone age 50 and older, and of those about 3.7 million are caregivers for their own spouses.
