Your Aphasia Husband Has No Plan B. Here's Why. l #198

Your Aphasia Husband Has No Plan B. Here's Why. l #198

You are the plan. You have been your aphasia spouse's only backup since his stroke.

But what happens when the caregiver needs help?

Build your plan. Start with here: aphasiacarepartnercompass.com

You have been managing everything. The medications, the appointments, the daily routine, the communication breakdowns.

Nobody told you to build an aphasia care partner backup plan for yourself. So you haven't. And when the doctor calls with a cancellation you cannot put off, there are no names on a list, no written routine, nobody who knows what to do.

If you have ever thought about leaving your spouse with aphasia alone and felt your chest tighten, this is the episode.

We talk about why aphasia caregivers have no support system in place for themselves, what an aphasia spouse emergency plan actually needs to include, and how to get help as a stroke caregiver starting this week with one conversation.

Because caregiver burnout is not the only risk. Luck runs out. And the phone will ring.
