The Silver Lining of Alzheimer’s

The Silver Lining of Alzheimer’s

Lori La Bey talks with Eliezer Sobel, who managed the last six years of at-home care for his mother, with the help of his wife Shari, whose Alzheimer’s journey lasted 20 years. His new memoir, The Silver Lining of Alzheimer’s: One Son’s Journey into the Mystery, focuses on the joy and healing that his mother’s process brought to the family while not sugarcoating the many difficulties.

 Learn:

1. Why is connection everything when caring for someone with dementia?
2. How was your ability to adapt to your mother's dementia different from how your father dealt with it?
3. What does “the happiness of memory loss” mean to you?
4. Explanation of what “reframing” means.
5. Honoring the humor with our relationships, even when dementia hits.
