It’s been a rough five years for Snuffy Walden, whose wife Debby was first diagnosed with cognitive problems in 2016. Snuffy says he’s not a natural caretaker. He talks to Barbara about how stressful it was in the beginning; taking over all the responsibilities of their home while trying to find the right caregivers for his angry and defiant wife. He shares his creative method for helping his wife beat a dependency on alcohol, and how he made it easier for her to accept new caretakers into their home. Snuffy also talks about his decision to move Debby out of their home, and how he’s been working through his feelings of guilt and sadness.
