EP 130 :: How Dementia Caregiving Affects Your Marriage :: Douglass Christensen

Marriage is bliss, right? Well, whoever said that was never a co-caregiver for a family member with their partner. In this episode, Douglass Christensen talks with Bobbi & Mike about the stress a marriage can undergo while caring for a loved one with dementia, but also the ways it can bring you closer together. His role as a co-caregiver Vincent Zappacosta, author of “Dementia-Mama-Drama”, helped add a new level to their relationship, and others can learn from their experience. With patience, humor, and a team approach, they brought hope to a seemingly hopeless situation. And are better off for it.
