When Paula’s sister, Carla, was diagnosed with ALS, it was the news she had dreaded most. Still, Paula committed to supporting her every step of the way. At first, Carla’s needs were small, but as the disease advanced, Paula’s role grew—along with the physical and emotional toll of caregiving. After Carla’s passing, Paula took time to heal, carrying both the deep scars of loss and a profound gratitude for the time they shared.

After Caregiving is a documentary style web series in which former caregivers are asked to recount their experience in the weeks, months and years after their caregiving responsibilities end.
