Life Beyond the Blast: Lindsey Stacy's Caregiving Journey

The reason we have nonprofits is to kind of fill the gaps that the private sector can't fill or doesn't fill, and the government doesn't. And those are things like new possibilities.
What happens when life throws you a curveball that changes everything? Lindsey Stacy, wife of Navy Senior Chief EOD Technician Kenton Stacy, knows this all too well. In this episode of the Struggle Well Podcast, Lindsey opens up about her life as a caregiver and the challenges she faces managing a household of six. Kenton, a highly decorated Navy veteran, was severely injured by an IED during his fourth combat deployment in Syria.
The explosion left him a quadriplegic, blind in one eye, and unable to speak. Yet, Kenton's spirit remains unbroken, and he continues to smile every day. Lindsey shares how their lives were turned upside down and how they’ve navigated the complexities of the healthcare system. She highlights the crucial support from the EOD community and nonprofits like the EOD Warrior Foundation and Boulder Crest, which have been lifelines for her family.
Adaptive sports and activities have also played a significant role in Kenton's rehabilitation, offering him a sense of normalcy and joy. Lindsey doesn't shy away from discussing the gaps in support from the Navy for injured veterans, advocating for more comprehensive assistance. This episode is a raw and inspiring look at resilience, community support, and the unwavering strength of military families.
If you’re looking for a story that’s both heart-wrenching and uplifting, Lindsey Stacy’s journey is one you won’t want to miss.
