In this episode on the Living with Alzheimer's podcast, Christoph interviews Mary Moreland, author of The Gap Between: Loving and Supporting Someone with Alzheimer’s.
They discuss Mary’s experience as a full-time lawyer and single mother of two boys suddenly becoming the caregiver for her mother with Alzheimer’s. They also talk about the book, how Mary approached the grieving process as her mother succumbed to the impacts of dementia, and how caregivers can refuel.
The insights Mary gained from her mother’s journey with dementia became a book full of the things she would have found helpful as a caregiver from diagnosis to end of life.
