Meet Rose: Our Mother, Whose Alzheimer's Diagnosis Is Why We're Sharing Our Story

Send us Fan MailWe are sisters Amber and Felicia, and we've watched our mom Rose step into one of the hardest chapters a family can face: an Alzheimer's diagnosis, in real time. Instead of processing it privately, we're choosing to share it. Every lesson learned, every milestone, the hard conversations, and the moments somewhere between grief and grace.In this first episode, we introduce ourselves, share how we got here, and explain why this story felt too important to keep quiet. But most importantly, meet Rose. Because before you understand this journey, you need to know the woman at the heart of it.In Season 1, we pull back the curtain on what it actually looks like to care for a parent in the early stages of early-onset Alzheimer's, especially from afar. We'll cover what we thought we knew about Alzheimer's and dementia versus the reality, how we built a care team across distance, resources and support systems, what works and what doesn't when showing up for someone with dementia, the everyday struggles, the big feelings, and the preventative steps we're taking to help slow progression and protect our mom's quality of life.Walk with us!
