📋 What to Know Before Caregiving for a Spouse (AARP Article)

FROM THE ARTICLE: 11 Important Things to Know Before Caregiving for a Spouse.

It can also be the most fulfilling.

It is important, though, to approach it with your eyes open, your mind well-educated, and your heart prepared for unexpected twists and turns that seemed unimaginable when you married.
