Caregiving is hard. 

Listen to the personal story Katherine Ayala OTA, shares about being a caregiver to both her mother and father while finishing up occupational therapy school. Stories like hers give us, as healthcare professionals, a perspective to help us love, forgive, strive and be the best we can be. 

A special thank you to Katherine for sharing her story. 

1. Caregiving is a hard role, especially when it isn't a role you have planned.
2. "Balance" is more than difficult to achieve and having family support helps.
3. Caregiving can change (strengthen and/or stress) family dynamics.
