Latest / Holding Both with June Callahan
Episode Five: Bathing, Dressing, and Dignity
June opens at two in the morning after the shower fight, then teaches dignity-first intimate care — privacy first, a routine instead of a daily referendum, choices inside the yes, and dressing that keeps your parent looking like themselves. One small act to dress like yourself today, and the Question of the Day. You can hold their hand and hold on to your life.
