Lewy Body and Mindful Caregiving

19: A Caregiving Conversation with my Counselor


Listen Later

In today's episode, we’re venturing into the often difficult but very necessary conversation about end-of-life care for our loved ones with dementia. We'll explore the tough decisions caregivers have to make, from defining comfort care to having those tough discussions with our loved ones, and even ourselves, about 'The End'. This is a very personal journey for me, as my mother suffers from Lewy Body Dementia, and in this tough yet enlightening discussion, I hope to offer solace, answer some of your lingering questions, and hopefully prepare you — and myself — for the challenges that may come. Slip into a comfortable seat and join me on this journey of mindfulness, compassion, and hard truths.
