Caregiving can be difficult enough when you're caring for a child or parent, but what do you do when your spouse is disabled in a serious accident half a world away? Elizabeth and Andy were in the midst of a happy, rewarding marriage when a terrible bus accident left Andy paralyzed from the waist down. Although their marriage will never be the same, Elizabeth discovered they've been given a chance to love even more deeply. "When I think about the years he served me, it's a gift – in a way – that I can serve him. That I can take care of him and do the things he needs. He's always cared for me. He's a good man." said Elizabeth. Dr. Jamie Huysman joins Leeza to discuss how people cope with sudden trauma in their lives. A touching, memorable story about the power of hope and love.
