Diane Carruba hasn’t been in the same car with her husband in a very long time. She doesn’t want them to die together. She doesn’t know what would happen to her son. A member of the sandwich generation, Carruba is the primary caregiver to her son – who suffers from ADHD, as well as a seizure disorder that has led to a developmental disability – and also cares for her mother, who is newly diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease.
Until recently, she’d never planned what would happen to her son when she was gone.
