Caregiving Overnight: Life After a Partner's Devastating Stroke — with Broadcaster Taylor Kaye

Taylor Kaye became a caregiver overnight when her husband, Greg, suffered a devastating stroke in 2022. In this deeply honest conversation with Teri Hart, she shares what it means to navigate life after a sudden stroke while also raising three daughters, working full time, and adjusting to the unexpected realities of becoming a family caregiver.

Taylor opens up about the shock of those early hospital days, the pressure of making life-altering medical decisions, and the responsibility of advocating for a loved one within an overwhelmed healthcare system. She also reflects on the emotional toll of stroke caregiving, the challenges of navigating recovery and long-term care, and why caregivers urgently need more support, empathy, and practical resources.

This episode offers an unfiltered look at caregiving after a catastrophic health event, and at the resilience it takes to keep moving forward when life changes in an instant.
