This week we hear from Terrence Ho, a son, brother and family caregiver, who at the time of this recording, was caring for his sick mother. 

 

Since the recording, Terrence’s mother unfortunately passed away from her battle with cancer. Terrence shares with us how he became her caregiver, the impact it has had on him and his family, and so much more.

 

Terrence has held roles in the public, private and non-profit sectors, where he’s learned to advocate tirelessly for the greater good as a strategist, facilitator, and community builder. One of his biggest influences is his younger brother who lives with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. Caring for his brother for almost 30 years has helped him appreciate the unique needs of patients and caregivers. He’s currently the Head of Partner Success at Braze Mobility, an assistive technology company that developed the first blind spot sensors for wheelchairs.

 

Terrence has been inspired by these life experiences to become a change agent and advocate for accessibility, dying-well, inclusion, and mental health. When he's not advocating for others and caregiving, you’ll find him enjoying a podcast or jumping on his trampoline!

 

 

Listen in as we talk about:

  • How his mom reacted to her diagnosis
  • How he became an end of life Doula
  • Tips to work through emotions in a healthy way
  • His guidance for those also going through a similar experience
