Donna and Lori share feelings they had after  learning their mother was diagnosed with dementia. In this episode, get to know these twin sisters as they share family background and dynamics as well as brief history of their mother.   

Welcome to Dementia Calling a new podcast where two daughters talk about their journey with their mother’s dementia.

When Shari was diagnosed with dementia, her daughters, Lori and Donna found themselves in a new situation. No one is prepared for this to happen in their family, it just happens and the children have no choice but to navigate the outcome.

In early stages, one daughter and her family moved in with her (and father). The other daughter had to take over all financial dealings. Fortunately, they had the support of their brothers.

After a year, dementia advanced and Shari declined, so help was brought into the house. Only a few months after that, Shari declined to a state at which she needed an Assisted Living facility. Thankfully it was close to her house. Each step came with their own difficulties and education.

Lori and Donna want to share their journey with you and hope you will join them through this process. They also, would like to hear from others going through this. They hope this podcast serves as a  support group - learning from each other and providing suggestions, hints, and hacks of better dealing with dementia.
