We aired our March Caregiving Book Club discussion yesterday on Your Caregiving Journey. Cathie Borrie, the author of this month’s pick, joined me to discuss her book, “The Long Hello ~ The Other Side of Alzheimer’s.” You can listen to our discussion via the player below.
Cathie cared for her mom, who had dementia, for seven years. During our discussion, Cathie shared her technique for coping with her mom’s dementia: She focused on the “now” with her mom by recording their discussions, which ultimately became the content for her book. She compared their relationship to the relationship between ballroom dancers; Cathie became the partner who followed.
After you’ve had a chance to listen to our discussion, please share your comments, below. What resonated for you about Cathie’s story?
