The Loss of Future Plans: Caring for a Spouse


Listen Later

LeAnn Specht and her husband Jeff's love story took an unexpected turn when some of Jeff's cognitive behaviors started to shift. What they thought was stress, slowly progressed into a formal diagnosis of early onset Alzheimer's. As Jeff's full-time care partner, LeAnn documents their journey on TikTok as @alzheimerstips, providing valuable insights and tips from the unique perspective of being husband and wife, as well as the ups and downs of being in a care partnership. While grieving the future that they will be unable to have, LeAnn remains focused on normalizing the present moment and meeting him where he is.
