Confessions of a Reluctant Caregiver

Confessions of a Reluctant Caregiver We're a dynamic duo of sisters sharing our caregiving journey w/ a mom & a spouse - the good, bad & funny! She’s the peacekeeper. She’s the athlete. Our rock.

The Original Sisterhood

Known since childhood as “The Elliott Girls” or simply, “The Girls”, it makes sense that we work together to support our mother, and each other. Our trio begins with Jenefer Jane “JJ” who was and always will be “in charge”. The responsible one, ensuring Natalie and Emilie remain alive. Next is Natalie, the middle child, who was and always will be Miss Congeniality. The reb

el responsible for three babysitters exiting the summer of ’84. Then there is Emilie, the youngest, who was and always will be “the baby”. At 6’1”, she is the sensitive and quiet soul. The one responsible for the guinea pig that begged for lettuce and the stray dog we adopted from the school bus stop. After high school we went separate ways, from New Mexico to North Carolina. JJ would go on to get her Master’s in Business Administration and work in the finance world before partnering with her now husband, Dexter, to run a variety of businesses. Natalie would go on to get her Master’s in Social Work degree, and work in the mental health field, advocating for children and families to receive the most appropriate services. Natalie would marry and divorce early on but later marry Jason. Emilie would exit college early to marry and gift us with Owen and twins, Maxx and Natalie Jane aka “The Kids”. Emilie would later divorce and work with county government, focusing most of her time on their care and activities. The source of the sisterhood falls to Jim aka “Big Jim” and Connie, small town high school sweethearts married for almost 40 years. In 2005, at the age of 52, mom would be diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease. She hid the disease for years behind dad’s 6’2” frame. The tremors and sudden inability to move were both calmed and steadied by his arm and simple presence. He was her rock. Close family and friends knew of her chronic illness, but to the rest of the world, everything was “fine”. Life would turn upside down when our dad unexpectedly passed in 2011 of a massive heart attack at the age of 58. The assumption was Dad would always be mom’s caregiver but that wasn’t God’s plan. Mom would spend the years following our father’s death desperately seeking a cure for Parkinson’s while trying to manage her symptoms. As the years went by, the cruel symptoms associated with the disease increased, negatively impacting her body while her mind remained clear and in tune. We lived our lives checking in to make sure she was “okay” but knowing the day would come when we had to do more. And then it did. The summer of 2019 changed everything. That’s where the real caregiver story begins for us. Little did we know she would be only the beginning of our caregiving journey. In March 2022, Natalie’s husband, Jason, was diagnosed with head and neck cancer. From the first time Jason detected something off about the swollen lymph nodes in his neck, to the formal diagnosis, and the decision to move to New York City to participate in a clinical trial at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, the journey would push them to their limits. The silver lining of his diagnosis was the cancer brought them closer to God, restoring their faith in Him while also experiencing a myriad of blessings through the kindness of family, friends, and strangers. Their story is a testimony that will inspire and offer hope. And this is just a glimpse of this trio past and present - caregivers by default doing their best to do the best for a mom and a husband. We hope you'll join our journey as we confess the good, bad, and downright funny of our caregiving adventures.

"𝐇𝐞 𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐝𝐞𝐝 𝐮𝐬 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐧 𝐰𝐞 𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐝𝐞𝐝 𝐡𝐢𝐦." - Nick Ga***rd

This is a powerful episode! Hosts Natalie Elliott Handy and JJ Elliott Hill sit down with Nick Ga***rd () to explore the raw realities of caregiving, grief, and complex family dynamics. Nick opens up about the emotional toll of caring for his father, the struggles of managing a difficult relationship, and the conflicting emotions of loss, relief, and anger after his passing.

𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐟𝐞𝐥𝐭 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐬𝐡𝐞𝐝𝐬 𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐨𝐧:
✅ Challenges of caregiving for parents with whom you have a complicated past
✅ Processing grief, denial, and emotional burnout
✅ The importance of seeking support and sharing your story
✅ How forgiveness can lead to healing and personal growth

Nick has always been driven to help others. With a talent for numbers, he built a 28-year career in pharmaceutical Quality Assurance, ensuring life-changing medicines reach those in need. Yet, he longed for a deeper connection.

In January 2024, Nick launched Our Dead Dads Podcast, a podcast that creates a safe space for grief, laughter, and open conversations about losing a parent. Inspired by his own complex relationship with his late father, he hopes to 𝐧𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐳𝐞 𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐜𝐮𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐚𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝 𝐠𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐟, 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐮𝐦𝐚, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠; helping others feel seen, heard, and less alone.

If you're facing the ups and downs of caregiving, loss, or strained family relationships, this episode offers honest insights and real-life experiences that can help you feel seen and supported.

Family caregivers provide an estimated $600 billion in unpaid care every year - AARP. This is more than the annual revenue of Apple/Amazon. An invisible workforce holding up families and communities, yet caregivers sacrifice their own health, careers, and well-being in the process.

💡𝐃𝐈𝐃 𝐘𝐎𝐔 𝐊𝐍𝐎𝐖?💡

Over 53 million Americans provide unpaid caregiving, dedicating an average of 24 hours per week to assisting a loved one. 𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐭’𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐞𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐯𝐚𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐚 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭-𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞 𝐣𝐨𝐛! Yet many caregivers receive little to no support.

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲?
Caregiving is an act of love, but it can also be emotionally, physically, and financially draining. Many struggle in silence, going from one complex medical decision to the next. Add on top of that, the financial burdens and personal sacrifices.

This is why 𝐞𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐚𝐝𝐯𝐨𝐜𝐚𝐜𝐲 matter. When we recognize the challenges caregivers face, we can push for better resources, workplace flexibility, and stronger support systems.

-Let’s shift the conversation.
-Let’s acknowledge the caregivers around us.
-Let’s build a future where they don’t have to do it alone.

✨Tag a caregiver in your life and remind them: 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐬𝐞𝐞𝐧, 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐯𝐚𝐥𝐮𝐞𝐝, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐚𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐞. 💕

💡𝐃𝐈𝐃 𝐘𝐎𝐔 𝐊𝐍𝐎𝐖?💡 Over 53 million Americans provide unpaid caregiving, dedicating an average of 24 hours per week to assisting a loved one. 𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐭’𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐞𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐯𝐚𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐚 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭-𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞 𝐣𝐨𝐛! Yet many caregivers receive little to no support. 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲? Caregiving is an act of love, but it can also be emotionally, physically, and financially draining. Many struggle in silence, going from one complex medical decision to the next. Add on top of that, the financial burdens and personal sacrifices. This is why 𝐞𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐚𝐝𝐯𝐨𝐜𝐚𝐜𝐲 matter. When we recognize the challenges caregivers face, we can push for better resources, workplace flexibility, and stronger support systems. -Let’s shift the conversation. -Let’s acknowledge the caregivers around us. -Let’s build a future where they don’t have to do it alone. ✨Tag a caregiver in your life and remind them: 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐬𝐞𝐞𝐧, 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐯𝐚𝐥𝐮𝐞𝐝, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐚𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐞. 💕 Confessions of a Reluctant Caregiver #caregiving #caregiver #healthcare #advocacy #support #education #help
