Navigating Military Family Caregiving with Caira Benson - Caregiver Spotlight

Season 5 Episode 128 Published 4 years, 8 months ago
Description

Meet military family caregiver Caira Benson. Before Caira was a family caregiver she was a thriving non-profit director who loved teaching Art History at her local college. She left it all to take up the most important vocation she had never wanted – caregiver to her husband, Eric, a catastrophically injured veteran. Armed with coffee and a lot of humor, Caira is determined to fight for her family to function somewhat normally despite all their challenges.


In this episode we talk about how Caira navigated her husband’s health journey with the VA, how she made the choice to not be angry, how her prayers were clearly answered, and which military and inclusive resources have helped all the members of her family, especially her five children.
