Courage Episode 3 Melinda: How to Be a Caregiver

Courage with Brenda Snow

Illness doesn’t just affect those who are ill – it also affects the people who love them. Meet Melinda, whose life has been defined by helping others: as a nurse and as a caregiver to several members of her family who have been affected by chronic conditions. As a matter of fact, you already know one of them: Brenda. Melinda is Brenda’s aunt and was one her primary caregivers during her darkest days of multiple sclerosis. Listen in on this intimate conversation of how Melinda not only raised Brenda up from disability and despair, but helped other members of their family get through cancer and epilepsy. Melinda proves that courage can be found in both big and small places; in the largest of efforts to the smallest of deeds.
