We know that caregiving can be a difficult and emotional journey, especially when you're part of the "Sandwich Generation," caring for aging parents and children.

Our photo essay highlights not only the sacrifices and challenges of caregiving, but also the unique perspective of switching roles. We share the journey that my mother, Helena, and I took as we cared for each other during difficult times. My mom supported me during my breast cancer treatments in 2017, and I helped her recover from a stroke and cancer last year.

Through this relatable and intimate photo essay, we hope to provide a sense of community for those navigating the difficult caregiving journey, and bring awareness and support to those in similar situations. We want others to feel that they aren't alone in this experience either.

We invite you to take a look at our work, which reflects the collective experiences of caregiving and a means of processing and understanding its complexities.

A heartfelt thank you to the amazing team at CNN and others along the way, including Visura, who believed in our work and helped bring this story to a larger audience.
