S2:E1 What I Wish I Knew about Memory Loss

Hello Care Partners,
As we sail into Season 2 there is a common theme when I meet new people and they frequently say, "I wish I knew you when I was caring for ....... because I WISH I KNEW ABOUT ............."
Let me first tell you that I am sure you did the best you could at the time. No regrets and definitely no shame if it did not go as well as planned. You will only get Grace and Hugs from me.
This did lead me to create this podcast to give the answers to the frequently asked questions. I hope this will give you peace as you grieve the loss of your loved one and provide new information for those getting started on this journey of caring for someone with Brain Change.
