Celebrating Marriage through Community Connections
Manage episode 418100138 series 3512833
Welcome to this special episode of Medical Moms of NICU podcast where Tanisha, a medical mom herself, discusses the challenges and triumphs of maintaining a healthy marriage while raising a medically complex child. As parents of a kidney warrior and cancer fighter, plus two more kids born during the pandemic, Tanisha and her husband have experienced a rollercoaster of emotions and hurdles. In this episode, she shares her journey of navigating these challenges while celebrating her 10-year relationship and 8-year marriage with her husband.
Tanisha highlights the importance of taking advantage of support resources, like Community Connections' respite support for guardians in Arkansas, which allows for a much-needed break from parenting duties. She emphasizes the need to nurture relationships outside of the roles of parents and caregivers, reminding listeners that medical moms are more than just their children's champions; they are individuals with personal needs and mental health that also need to be taken care of.
She shares her learning experiences of how to communicate effectively with her spouse and the importance of having those courageous conversations to express what's in their hearts. Tanisha encourages her listeners to also explore respite care services or ask for support from those around them, as it can make a world of difference for their relationship and overall family wellbeing. By sharing her journey, she hopes to inspire other NICU parents and guardians to continue nurturing their relationships amidst their relentless medical caregiving responsibilities.
