Reflecting on 2022: Lessons and Insights from the Journey Down Dementia Road

In this final episode of 2022, Ken reflects on the past year of his and his wife Shanna's 12-year journey with Alzheimer's. He shares personal anecdotes and key lessons learned from their experiences and deep discussions with friends who are also navigating similar paths.

Ken introduces a model that breaks down the roles of a caregiver into three categories: pre-existing relationship role, primary caregiver role, and advocate role. He emphasizes the importance of adapting these roles for personal growth and emotional balance. 

Ken also explains his motivation behind starting the podcast and highlights the principles guiding it. As he looks forward to the new year, he invites listeners to reflect on their own journeys and roles as caregivers.
