⚠️ Content Warning: This episode is intended for listeners 18+. It contains dark humor and discusses death, dying, Alzheimer’s, dementia, and the emotional realities of being a sole caregiver. Listener discretion is advised.
A sole caretaker. Two parents. A horror almost everyone will face.
In Stephen King's, The Shining, the real horror isn’t the ghosts...it’s isolation, caretaking, and slowly losing yourself inside a role you never asked for.
In this episode, Maggie shares the most difficult chapter of her life so far: being an only child and the sole caretaker for both parents as their health declines, navigating Alzheimer’s and dementia with no siblings, no backup, and no escape.
This is a horror almost everyone will face at some point.....watching the people who raised you fade, while the responsibility quietly consumes you.
Only instead of the caretaker trapped in a haunted hotel, Maggie is living a real-life psychological horror where there’s no final girl moment, no monster to defeat — just love, loss, and showing up every single day.
This isn’t a story about ghosts.
It’s about memory, grief, and the kind of horror that happens slowly, behind closed doors....and touches nearly all of us.
