CAREGIVER: a love story

“There are only four kinds of people in the world. Those who have been caregivers, those who are currently caregivers, those who will be caregivers, and those who will need caregivers.”

— Rosalynn Carter, Former First Lady of the United States and founder of the Rosalynn Carter Institute for Caregiving

​

Four years into her battle with cancer, Bambi decided to forego additional painful medical treatments and live her final weeks at home with the support of hospice. Although he was reluctant to let go of the love of his life, whom he had met only three years earlier, Rick supported her decision.

​

Bambi and Rick’s journey begins on a high note. Death may be fast-approaching, but there is an air of celebration, even optimism. The atmosphere changes quickly when family members must return to their homes abroad and Rick is left to manage Bambi’s growing needs on his own. Without a full night’s sleep in months, the around-the-clock responsibilities eventually send Rick into a state of physical and emotional exhaustion.
