Caregiving for a spouse during good times and bad: One military man's incredible story
Fox News
Jim Lorraine, a veteran of the U.S. Air Force, today takes care of his wife, also an Air Force veteran, as she faces medical challenges. Fox News Digital spoke to him about caregiving.
He served as special assistant for Warrior and Family Support to the Chairman, Joint Chiefs of Staff. "Her clinic called to tell me Becky had been found unresponsive — and they weren’t sure what was happening." "While Becky’s seizures had been reduced through medication, the side effects were debilitating." "Becky and I are both nurses. We are focused toward service." "When it first happened, we felt pretty alone, especially going through the medical discharge process." Maureen Mackey is managing editor of lifestyle for Fox News Digital.
Today, he is CEO and president of America's Warrior Partnership, a nonprofit organization whose mission is to partner with communities to prevent veteran suicide.
