Mitch made the decision to form his COVID ""bubble” with his mom and dad, but not long after moving home his father received a terminal cancer diagnosis. With the caregiving roles reversed between father and son, Mitch longed to once again receive the care of the father who had supported him for years. However, having to shelter in place together 24/7 provided Mitch with an opportunity to get to know his dad on a more intimate level than he had previously experienced. So, when his dad passed, Mitch felt conflicting emotions that were difficult for him to reconcile. On the one hand he was happy he had the time with his dad but devastated that their time together was cut so short.
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.
