Ep. 163: Capital L Love - Caring For A Parent With Alzheimer's (Brianne Grebil)

When Brianne Grebil's mother was diagnosed with Alzheimer's at the age of 62, Brianne packed up and moved from LA back to northern Idaho to help care for her. Over the course of her mother's illness, many of the moments Brianne dreaded the most ended up being the ones that shifted her understanding of love and what remains when we lose everything we knew to be true about the people in our lives. We talk about Brianne's book, Love Doesn't Care if You Forget: Lessons of Love From Alzheimer's and Dementia, and the complexities of planning a memorial during the COVID-19 pandemic.  You can purchase Brianne's book through Amazon, or get a signed copy from the Brianne's Love and Dementia website.
