Zestful Aging

I Tried to Deny My Dad's Dementia


Listen Later

This episode looks at the difficulty of realizing that a loved one is experiencing cognitive decline. I met Darlene Mahoney at a recent podcasting conference and was struck by her honesty and willingness to talk about her discovery that her father had Dementia. She tells the story of witnessing her father's strange behavior and how she couldn't–or didn't want to–see the writing on the wall. And we reflect on why the truth is sometimes so hard to face. Check out Darlene's podcast at SeniorLivingGuide.com.
