Shelley shares her journey with her mother, Mary, who was diagnosed with Primary Progressive Aphasia in her 50s, and died suddenly 6 years later.

This is a heartbreaking story but Shelley is a wonderful storyteller - funny, witty and no doubt someone who accepts the good. One of our favorite parts was getting into all the feelings of being mom's while going through this journey with our parents. 

Shelley's mom Mary was really special. We hope you carry some piece of her with you after hearing this episode.

Remember Me is a podcast created by two moms who became fast friends on Instagram while caregiving for their parents. It features stories of Frontotemporal Dementia (FTD) with a focus on remembering individuals for who they were before the disease. The stories shared are raw, real, and so full of love. We hope it inspires you to "accept the good."
