Caregiver wellbeing, care coordination, and meaningful support must remain central to the future of veteran care. Today’s conversation with @SecVetAffairs reinforces the value of listening to families who carry the mission at home. “What you are doing here matters.”

#Caregiving is filled with “Big Emotions.” Some days are filled with gratitude, creativity, & purpose. Other days may feel heavy or overwhelming. Both are valid & part of the caregiving journey, each emotion carrying meaning, value, and purpose. 🔗hiddenheroes.org/resources-o…
