Today Barbara is joined by Carole Lieber-Wilkins whose mother, Fran, has suffered from dementia for the past 12 years. Carole talks about Fran’s illness, which began when trauma from 9/11 caused a psychotic break. They discuss Fran’s journey since then, from assisted living to moving in with Carole and her husband to finally landing in a full-time care unit when she couldn’t be left alone. Carole tells Barbara about the day she moved her mother into full-time care -- “it was one of the hardest days of my life” -- and how she wishes she could have taken care of her but realizes she did the right thing.
