In this heartfelt episode of Rarely Typical, my husband, Jason, and I sit down to reflect on the unexpected journey that led us to Colorado—a move that, in hindsight, was divinely orchestrated for me to receive my life-changing diagnosis. We discuss how this path has strengthened our faith, tested our vows, and deepened our understanding of what it truly means to be a caregiver and a partner. Jason shares his perspective on stepping into the role of a caregiver, the challenges and emotional weight it carries, and how he’s found purpose in supporting me through this journey.
Key Takeaways:
Trusting That God Had a Plan – Looking back, we can see how every step was preparing us for what was ahead. God’s timing was perfect, even when it felt uncertain.
In Sickness and In Health: Living Our Vows – Marriage is tested in unexpected ways, and we share how we’ve navigated those challenges together.
The Vital Role of a Caregiver – Caregivers often go unseen, but their role is essential. Jason talks about what it’s really like to walk this path and how he’s learned to advocate alongside me.
