Speaking of Alzheimer's

Caregiving: Challenges, Advice, Grief & Silver Linings


Listen Later

On today’s episode we are joined by Bob Koskta from Kingston, MA, a former caregiver for his wife, Lynne, who recently lost her battle with Alzheimer’s. Bob talks with us about the challenges he faced as a caregiver, joining a male caregivers support group, and his number one advice to other caregivers. He also candidly shares his experience with grieving the loss of his wife. 


We also discuss the New England Family Conference coming up on March 1-2. The conference, free and open to the public, will have a full day of sessions for people living with dementia and a full day of sessions dedicated to caregivers.
