Losing a Spouse With Huntingon's Disease with Amy Abbott
**Trigger warning** This show contains hard topics on life with HD which can including speaking on topics of abuse, neglect, su*cidal ideations and more. Please listen with caution.
Today I sit down Amy Abbott. Amy lost her husband, Jody, to Huntington's Disease. Jody was a musician and had a true love for music. Amy shares the dark moments her and her children had to go through behind the scenes as Jody's HD unfortunately progressed. She is sharing the good, the bad, and the ugly of caregiving. Amy is also our Champion for HD Caregiver for 2022. She was nominated and received the award last year.
I hope you enjoy our conversation!
