03: Mom, Me and a Diagnosis

Welcome to another episode of Lewy Body and Mindful Caregiving. Join me on a beautiful journey filled with emotions, life lessons and the courage to face life's challenges. In today's episode, we delve deep into the story of my mother's declining health and the struggles of caregiving. From the joy of building a mother-in-law unit for my mother's comfortable living to the heartache of watching my mother’s health decline. You'll hear about my personal struggles with accepting my mother's dementia diagnosis, the turmoil I faced while deciding to get a diagnosis, and the resulting empowerment when confronted with a name to the problem. Be prepared to experience a heartfelt roller-coaster ride as I make peace with my reality and learn how to make the best of my situation, while imparting valuable wisdom to those facing similar challenges. _______________________ FIRST TIME HERE?
