In this episode, Beth is joined by her friend Lauren, who shares the story of her Nana’s dementia diagnosis at 87, after years of slowly declining health.

Lauren explains how her Nana’s diabetes complicated symptoms, delayed a diagnosis and masked what was really going on - and how dementia still hit her family like a shockwave, even at an older age.

This episode is a reminder that dementia always hurts, no matter how old someone is. It still shakes families, it still changes everything and it still takes so much love, patience and strength to navigate it.
