How do you survive being an Alzheimer's caregiver and remain a well spouse?

How can you survive being an Alzheimer's caregiver and remain a well spouse? When you are experiencing sorrow, fear, frustration, agony, exhaustion, and depression, and when the level of caregiving stress makes you feel on the verge of a total breakdown, know that you are not alone. There is not the way, there is not a single right way and there is definitely no easy way. However, there are paths through this arduous task.

Helping you find your path is the topic of this episode. My guest, Joann Wingfield is the author of the brand new book, Well Spouse. We discuss how love can endure through the mundane tasks & drudgery of caregiving. She tells us how she found triumph while fighting a war with a disease that has no cure.  Most importantly, we talked about how each of us can find our way on the difficult path of caring for a loved one with Alzheimer's.
