This panel offers a real look at what caregiving feels like—its challenges, its unexpected strengths, and the small but meaningful moments that keep caregivers going. Panelists will share what they wish others understood, the capacities they never knew they had, and the moments of clarity or connection that surfaced along the way. While caregiving can be both exhausting and deeply meaningful, this session explores how people navigate that tension and find their own “silver linings.” Participants will leave with relatable stories, practical insights, and a renewed sense of encouragement for their own caregiving journey.
