#128 When Stroke Caregiving Breaks Your ...

LIFE Aphasia Academy® Genevieve Richardson
About this episode

Caregiving after stroke can leave you feeling exhausted, resentful, and heartbroken. In this episode, we explore the hidden emotional toll of caregiving—when love feels like obligation and the life you once had feels out of reach. If you’ve ever felt stuck in guilt, burnout, or overwhelm, this conversation is for you.

We’ll break down:

  • Why resentment and guilt often go hand-in-hand for care partners
  • How to recognize the invisible load of caregiving that contributes to burnout
  • Simple, small steps to start regaining control of your emotional health
  • How to let go of tasks and expectations that weigh you down

✨ Take the first step toward healing.
