@fiercefab No, it doesn’t present solutions. More a first person account of the situation and how the individual is figuring out how to cope with it in order to still have a mom and a grandmother for her kids. It’s tough πŸ˜”

@mm I ended up listening anyway and I will say that it was valuable in a different way. The three types of replies she got were fascinating to me. Thank you for recommending β™₯️
