THE CARER

The Carer

 



THE CARER /  SHOW NOTES
Today's episode is about a beautiful mother by the name of Kathie who has been a carer to her child, Miranda, for the past 15 years. Miranda suffered what seemed to be a little injury at school but was in fact a major brain injury that has changed her life and her family's life forever. This is a heavy conversation, it is also heartbreaking. Listen to this with a big open heart and be ready to cry. Because life is so unfair sometimes.
