What do you do when your partner is diagnosed with glioblastoma? In caregiver, Robert Marx’s case, he and his wife made the most of the time they had.
As a caregiver, Robert decided to approach care-giving in a very methodical, communicative, compassionate way. His advice- “Don’t neglect your own well-being. Don’t become patient B.”
In this episode, we sit down with Robert, who hails from Germany and joined us from London UK, to discuss his late wife and how he has approached his grief and healing since her death.
You can learn more about Robert at Morphine On Banana Bread.
