The Next Big Thing in Health

December 15, 2022 By Susannah Fox 3 Comments

AHIP: The Next Big Thing in Health podcast logo

This week I was a guest on the Next Big Thing in Health podcast (listen here or wherever you get your podcasts). I thought I’d share links to some of the people and resources I mention: ARCHANGELS WORK helps people translate the skills and experiences they acquired as caregivers into talking points for a job […]

Engage with Grace

5 questions about end-of-life choices

Can you and your loved ones answer these questions? 1. On a scale of 1 to 5, where do you fall on this continuum: 1 = Let me die without medical intervention; 5 = Don’t give up on me no matter what, try any proven and unproven intervention possible. 2. If there were a choice, […]

Caregiving is not a “career break”

April 13, 2022 By Susannah Fox 37 Comments

Red leaves with water droplets

LinkedIn recently announced a new feature: the “career break.” Users can choose from 13 different types of time away from paid work, such as bereavement, career transition, caregiving, full-time parenting, a gap year, or travel.  It is a big step forward. But I want more. I want caregivers to be recognized as essential members of a health […]

Lessons learned about hospice care

Thick trunk reaches up to the sky, sunlight filters through leaves

A loved one recently went over the cancer waterfall and I dove in after him, keeping his head above water long enough to say goodbye to everyone. It was an intense four weeks of caregiving – two in the hospital and two at home, in hospice.  I am sharing one segment of our story to […]

Elegy for A. and M.

Elegy for unaccompanied viola, by Benjamin Britten

I grew up rich in cousins. I spent holidays with my first cousins and lived, starting at age 11, in the same town with second cousins (the children of my mother’s first cousin) AND a first cousin twice removed (my grandmother’s first cousin – each generation that separates us is the “removed” part). Don’t worry, […]

Peer-to-peer advice for caregivers

August 24, 2020 By Susannah Fox 2 Comments

5 hands gripping 5 wrists

Longtime readers of my blog know that I’m a caregiver. I helped care for my grandparents and my father until the end of their lives and I’m currently caring for an “uncle” (he is my cousin’s widower, but it’s easier to just tell people I’m his niece). I’m also obsessed with amplifying the lessons we […]
