When my husband was diagnosed with end stage liver disease (ELSD), I became his full time caregiver overnight and had no idea what to do or how his diagnosis would impact our family or finances.

The demands of his care were overwhelming. Trying to manage his care, medications, treatment schedules, follow up appointments, testing, a household, finances, kids, careers, the healthcare system - it was complete CHAOS.

His terminal illness took control over our lives.

Without warning, his sudden diagnosis forced him into early retirement at the age of 40 and left me unable to work due to the demands of his care.

Shortly after losing our income, we couldn't pay our bills, forcing us to lose both cars, defaulting on $60K in credit card debt and place our home into forbearance. The financial hardship we experienced is unfathomable.

I lived in a constant state of fear, panic and uncertainty with no time to grieve the loss of a life we once knew or mourn a marriage with him sitting beside me fighting for his life daily. I was terrified of losing him along with everything we'd worked so hard for.

Surrounded by my own tears and desperation, I began thinking of other women just like me, experiencing the same crippling challenges and began brainstorming of how I could turn all my pain into a plan to help her so our story doesn't become her story.

I spent every free moment in waiting rooms, hospitals, emergency rooms, at home and in the car figuring out how to transform every challenge, obstacle, hardship and painful event into ways to help other families navigate and manage the aftermath of an end stage liver diagnosis.
