💨 Abstract

Tech innovators Indu Navar and Peter Cohen faced a daunting challenge when Peter was diagnosed with ALS after two years of symptoms. Navar's role as a caregiver was isolating and emotionally taxing. She later founded EverythingALS.com to support ALS research and treatment. The article highlights common mistakes people make when interacting with caregivers, such as offering vague support, minimizing their struggles, or making insensitive comments.
