Caregiver’s Corner – Gus

Gus and Denese Leonard

I’m grateful to have a safe, inclusive, and supportive place to share my own journey as a caregiver for my wife, who is in her 4th year of surviving ovarian cancer. I’ve learned so much from the other folks who join each month–their roles, perspectives, challenges, and successes are all related to the experiences my family is undergoing. The reminder that I’m not the only one going through this has helped me find calm and peace. While I seem to get nervous each month about what I might learn about my own experiences as I share them, I leave deeply calmed and feeling connected and less alone.
