Alzheimer’s is called the long goodbye because the journey to a loved one’s last breath can last anywhere from months to over 20 years. Lisa’s journey with her mom took place over eight years. In this incredible episode, my guest host, Lisa, shares her story as she took on the role of caretaker, mother of two kids, and wife —- all while working and taking care of patients.
It is a story of heartbreak, love, pain, anger, exhaustion, and so much more. Join us as we talk about the stuff that so many people never share.
