My Mother: The Person and the Patient

Episode 16: Living with Alzheimer's: Mother's resilience


Listen Later

In this emotionally charged episode, we hear the touching story of my mother's journey living with Alzheimer's. From forgetting to wake up, to the pain of not recognizing her loved ones, I explore the challenges and heartbreak of this debilitating illness.

As we learn about my mother's life, we are struck by her resilience and determination throughout her years, including how she left her first husband at 14. We hear about how her early experiences impacted her later life and the strength she displayed in facing life's many obstacles.

I share how we have coped with my mother's illness, and the lessons I have learned about love, patience, and compassion. We hear about the importance of cherishing every moment and the power of family and community in helping those with Alzheimer's.

Join me as we hear this powerful story of love and resilience and gain insight into the experience of living with Alzheimer's. This episode will leave you inspired and moved by the strength of the human spirit.
