An amazing marriage and great success in the music industry could not protect Franne Golde and her family from the diagnosis of early onset Alzheimer's that was claiming her husband, Paul.
In this episode, Franne shares the beginnings, the pain, the joys, the love that follows their journey. Heart-warming, heart-wrenching, heart-felt... Franne opens her heart to describe the ups and downs and ins and outs of Paul's early onset Alzheimer's... and then, of course, along came covid.
If you're on a similar journey to Franne and her family, you'll identify with so much of this conversation. If you're just beginning the journey, you need to listen so you understand there is joy, there are supports, and maybe start defining what "self-care" means to you before you're too tired to figure it out.
The article that Franne wrote for Maria Shriver's Sunday Paper can be found at https://www.mariashriversundaypaper.com/on-loving-someone-with-alzheimers/
