Alzheimer's Speaks

Welcome to Alzheimer's Speaks Radio where we listen to all voices on dementia.

Our first guest Jane Sweeney, used a pen name of JC to write "Caregiver: My Love Story, Facing Dementia."  This is a powerful and very "caregiver friendly" book. The book is her tribute to her sweetheart Bernie, to honor his love. Jane wanted and needed to share what she learned.  By giving to others tips she learned from her own journey, Jane hopes to bring awareness to the difficulties faced by so many walking this path.
