My Mother: The Person and the Patient

Episode 18: Alzheimer's and Teen Pregnancy: My Mother's Unpredictable Journey


Listen Later

In this episode, I delve into the unexpected journey of my mother, who, in her old age, was diagnosed with Alzheimer's. She developed a painful boil on her back to add to her struggles. I shared my mother's story when she discovered she had become pregnant at fourteen with the baby of a man she had previously divorced. I share how we navigated the complex challenges of caring for someone with Alzheimer's while uncovering my mother's past. I discuss the realities of Alzheimer's, the difficulties of teenage pregnancy, and the emotional toll it takes on a family. Join me as I explore life's unexpected twists and turns and the power of resilience in the face of adversity.
