Living Proof: Ginger Smith’s Journey Through and Beyond Dementia

Living Proof: Ginger Smith’s Journey Through and Beyond Dementia      Lori La Bey talks with Ginger Smith, a retired speech-language pathologist who worked alongside neurology teams at Stanford and UCSF. After surviving a terminal dementia diagnosis, she now advocates for open-minded medicine, dementia research, and the truth that joy, purpose, and a meaningful life are still possible — even after the unthinkable. Joining them is Ginger’s publisher, Shanlynn R. Hatton, who is an author, independent publisher, and caregiver advocate based in Reedville, Virginia.  Known for blending honesty, hope, and humor into every project, Hatton’s mission is to bring light to life’s darkest moments.  (S.
