    Loving Through the Unseen Caring for Hidden Disability with Suzanne Strauber

    What does it look like to love someone whose disability isn’t immediately visible? In this heartfelt episode of Love Drops Podcast, we sit down with Suzanne Strauber to explore the often-misunderstood world of hidden disability and the unique ways it can shape relationships, caregiving, family life, and everyday experiences. When a disability cannot be seen, loved ones may face challenges that others don’t always recognize or understand. Suzanne shares insight into the realities of caring for someone with an unseen disability, including the emotional complexities, the importance of compassion, and the need to look beyond appearances. Together, we talk about what it means to truly see, support, and love someone through what others may not see. What hidden or invisible disability can look like in everyday life The challenges faced by individuals whose disabilities aren't immediately apparent How caregiving can affect relationships and family dynamics The importance of listening, believing, and offering compassionate support Navigating misunderstanding, assumptions, and stigma How love can become an intentional act of patience, advocacy, and presence Practical ways we can better support people living with hidden disabilities and those who care for them Suzanne reminds us that sometimes the deepest struggles are the ones we cannot see — and that meaningful care begins with choosing to listen, understand, and love without judgment. Because not every disability is visible. But every person deserves to be seen.

    Caregiving, Soulmates, and Loss featuring Suzy McNamara

    What happens when the person who feels like your soulmate becomes the person you must care for—and grief begins long before goodbye? In this tender, deeply honest episode of Love Drops, author, speaker, and caregiving-and-grief advocate Suzy McNamara shares the story behind her memoir, The Silkworm, The Magician, and The Sister Tree: A Tale of Love and Loss. After spending five years caring for her husband through early-onset Alzheimer’s, Suzy faced the devastating loss of both her husband and her sister in the same year. Together, we explore the transformation from spouse to caregiver, the private heartbreak of anticipatory grief, and the enduring connection that can remain when a soulmate is no longer physically present. Suzy speaks to the isolating realities of caregiving while offering a compassionate reminder that love, faith, memory, and community can help us survive what once felt unsurvivable. This conversation is for caregivers, grievers, and anyone who has loved someone through an impossible season. Connect with Suzy McNamara and learn more about her work at https://suzymcnamara.com/.
