Our guest, Rayna Neises, has the story no one wants to have. Rayna  lost both of her parents to Alzheimer's disease 20 years apart.  Her mom was diagnosed when she was just 16, living 12 years with the disease.  Her dad lived 14 years with the disease being diagnosed just 6 years after her passing. But even still, Rayna feels blessed to be able to share her family’s story of journeying through Alzheimer’s Disease in her book No Regrets: Hope for Your Caregiving Season. Rayna understands the joys and challenges that come from a season of caring. She helped care for both of her parents during their separate battles with Alzheimer’s over a thirty-year span.  And she is able to look back on those days now with no regrets – and she wishes the same for everyone caring for aging parents.No Regrets: Hope for Your Caregiving Season, is a book filled with her own heart-warming stories and practical suggestions for journeying through a caregiving season.Rayna is an ICF Associate Certified Coach with certifications in both Life and Leadership Coaching from the Professional Christian Coaching Institute.  She is the host of “A Season of Caring Podcast” and a passion speaker.Rayna lives on a farm in southeast Kansas with her husband, Ron, and small pack of adorable dogs. She is the baby of her family, but most would never guess that. She is a former teacher and enjoys crafts of all kinds and spending time with her grandkids most of all.  Facebook.com/ASeasonofCaringRaynaNeisesLinkedin.com/RaynaNeisesInstagram.com/RaynaNeisesPinterest.com/thcoachinghttps://twitter.com/raynaneiseshttps://www.ASeasonofCaring.comhttp://www.NoRegrets-book.comSend us Fan MailIf someone you love experienced neglect in a nursing home…Then you know how desperately the system needs to change.  History has shown us that It takes people power to change anything worthwhile.
