Caring for Veterans: A Harsh Reality for Some.

For veteran caregivers, service to their loved ones continues long after a tour of duty ends.

By Lee Woodruff, AARP. Published November 11, 2024.

Every year on Veteran’s Day our nation honors those who have sacrificed and served our country. Behind these veterans there are family caregivers who reflect on a very different kind of service and often feel forgotten. Life has not moved forward or gotten easier for many of our nation’s military caregivers, who are silently earning their version of a combat badge, setting aside their own goals and even their identities, long after their loved ones have made it home.

Nancy Treaster, 63, a certified caregiving consultant from Johns Creek, Georgia, is a co-founder of “The Caregiver’s Journey” a podcast and website offering practical advice to caregivers, especially around difficult subjects.
