In today's podcast, we profile Patti Davis, author of "Floating in the Deep End: How Caregivers Can See Beyond Alzheimer's". Davis, the formerly rebellious daughter of Ronald Reagan, provides a powerful example of a person who turned her painful challenges into an opportunity for growth, resilience and purpose in life. On learning of her father's diagnosis of Alzheimer's, Patti resolved to actively care for her father for the remainder of his life. Davis is a gifted writer, blending her expertise on dementia with her own life experiences. She shares her difficult journey of overcoming old family pain and resentments to a personal deepening of forgiveness, compassion and love. After her father's death, Patti carried on a legacy of her experience by creating Beyond Alzheimer's, a network of support groups for caregivers and families of Alzheimer's sufferers.
