In this episode of Care to Share, Prue chats with Sebastian about his journey caring for his husband Jeff. Sebastian transitioned from partner to carer when Jeff was diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer’s.

Seb honestly shares the trickiness of this relationship dynamic shift, while clearly expressing the long standing love and bond he has with his husband. He also highlights the nuanced challenge of care within a same sex relationship.

This episode is a candid look into an intimate and evolving relationship that is centred in love and care.
