Listen as one caregiver shares the most difficult piece of the caregiving journey – the emotions that come with caring for a loved one.
Mary Brintnall-Peterson, Ph.D. is a retired Professor Emeritus and University of Wisconsin Extension educator. She is also a family caregiver and owner of MBP Consulting, LLC.
I’ve had the pleasure of getting to work with Dr. Brintnall-Peterson over the years in Cooperative Extension and now in her new role as family caregiver and consultant. We sat down to discuss her experiences as a caregiver to her son battling colon cancer. In this interview, we highlight lessons learned that may be helpful for others on similar caregiving journeys. Dr. Brintnall-Peterson shares tips and strategies on self-care in order to better care for her son.
