May 19, 2015 Dementia Can It Really Be a Gift?
Alzheimer's Speaks Radio was launched to connect people to wonderful resources, perspectives and support around the world. Come and join the conversation or just listen in. All episodes are archived if you can't make the live show.

Listen to the conversation I have with Maggie La Tourelle, a writer, therapist and teacher who has worked in the field of holistic health care for over thirty years. Her thoughts and insights after caring for her own mother with dementia are interesting to say the least. Her book, "The Gift of Alzheimer's - New Insights into the Potential in Alzheimer’s and its Care ," is wonderful and shows a side to the disease many don't think is possible. Come join the conversation. I promise it will be interesting and enlightening! Please note this show is a replay.
