Still Here: Caregiving and Dementia


Listen Later

This hour-long special draws attention to the unacknowledged challenges faced by family caregivers for people with dementia. The show explores the experience of ambiguous loss, where the person is both here and not here at the same time. It chronicles the absurdly difficult situations that caregivers can find themselves in, trying to negotiate with someone irrational who doesn’t remember them and may refuse to cooperate.
