A caregiver’s journey is different for everyone, A caregiver’s journey is different for everyone, but one thing I’ve learned is how powerful and valuable it is when we share our stories. When we do, we support the next caregiver who might be feeling lost, alone, or fresh out of ideas.
I’m starting a new community project in hopes it will take flight. For now, it will be a space for me to listen, learn, and begin compiling these important stories.
If you’re caring for someone, or have in the past, I’d be honored to hear from you. You can answer one (or both) of these prompts:

✨ What would you tell your younger caregiving self just starting this journey?
✨ How did you get the support you needed from family and friends?

Email your story to stories@emmahemingwillis.com

It doesn’t need to be long, just reflective. What you choose to share could help another caregiver in more ways than you realize. Everything you send will stay confidential and be read only by me and my team 💙
Still feeling inspired after my fireside chat with Still feeling inspired after my fireside chat with Jason Resendez at the Caregiver Nation Summit in DC. 💙
We talked about what it truly means to care for the caregiver and how sharing our stories brings visibility, value, and support to the 63 million unpaid caregivers across the U.S. Because caregiving isn’t just personal, it’s a societal responsibility.
Thank you to the @caregiver_nation for making the space for these essential conversations and driving meaningful change in policy, research, and community support. You’re leading the way because care can’t wait.

My friend @pattidavis10 led The Unexpected Journey book talk, and it was such a meaningful night.
I asked for a show of hands to see how many caregivers were in the room and was surprised to see only a few. What I loved about that was the curiosity and the willingness to listen, to learn, and to understand care and dementia. 
Caregiving will touch us all, whether we’ll give it or receive it. These conversations matter. Because when we share our stories, we help the unseen feel seen and that awareness can shift how others show up for caregivers. 💙
