The Gap Between Loving and Supporting Someone with Alzheimer's

from Life Happens · host Kim Hegwood

I remember my mother, she used to always love coming to her grandchildren's events at school. And even when she didn't really know what was going on, she still just really enjoyed it. Until one day she just didn't enjoy it. It was confusing. The clapping was loud, it was dark. She just wanted to leave. And I think when those types of setbacks happen and your loved one has progressed more in the disease, it's helpful to acknowledge it. And then try to reframe it. ~ Mary Moreland- Author of The Gap Between Loving and Supporting Someone with Alzheimer’s Today Kim Hegwood and Mary Moreland will be discussing how to support someone with Alzheimer’s. Title: The Gap Between Loving and Supporting Someone with Alzheimer's. A few of the questions Kim will ask to include: · Tell me a little about your background and why you are passionate to help families with caregivers. · People tell caregivers from time to time, "I hope you are taking care of yourself". Do you find a lot of times caregivers say yes even when they are not? · So, how can people encourage fellow caregivers to take breaks and seek help when needed? · How would you suggest caregivers deal with setbacks? What are some tips for caregivers that need to better manage their time? A portion of book profits are going to AWARE -      could you tell me about AWARE?
