The Silver Lining of Alzheimer’s
Lori La Bey talks with Eliezer Sobel, who managed the last six years of at-home care for his mother, with the help of his wife Shari, whose Alzheimer’s journey lasted 20 years. His new memoir, The Silver Lining of Alzheimer’s: One Son’s Journey into the Mystery, focuses on the joy and healing that his mother’s process brought to the family while not sugarcoating the many difficulties.
Learn:
- Why is connection everything when caring for someone with dementia?
- How was your ability to adapt to your mother's dementia different from how your father dealt with it?
- What does “the happiness of memory loss” mean to you?
- Explanation of what “reframing” means.
- Honoring the humor with our relationships, even when dementia hits.
