Bozoma Saint John: Everything Can Be True at Once

  • Speak honestly about the complicated realities of caregiving
  • Discuss how our roles change within families from daughter to parent or spouse to caregiver
  • Describe anticipatory grief

CW: adult language, death of a child during pregnancy, death of a spouse
