Living Our Best With Memory Loss

You Are Not Alone: Finding Community & Purpose with the Alzheimer's Association | S3E3


Listen Later

In this moving episode, we are joined by Sarah Dickson of the Alzheimer's Association, Tennessee Chapter, and Donna Barber, a dedicated volunteer whose husband, Larry, is living with Alzheimer's.

Donna shares her personal journey with immense transparency—from the first signs of memory loss and receiving the diagnosis, to the daily emotional challenges and the profound shift in her role from a wife to a full-time caregiver. She explains how making one phone call to the Alzheimer's Association became her "blessing," connecting her to a community and a support system that she and Larry desperately needed.

This episode is a vital listen for anyone touched by Alzheimer's or other forms of cognitive impairment. Whether you are a caregiver feeling overwhelmed, a person living with a diagnosis, or someone who wants to help, Donna and Sarah's message is clear: You do not have to do this alone. There is hope, there is help, and there is a community waiting for you.
