This week I sit down with Jessica Smith, the voice behind @alzheimers_awakening, to discuss her emotional journey as the primary caregiver for her mother, Patti, who lives with dementia. Jessica opens up about the complexities of long-distance caregiving, the grief of watching a loved one fade, and the healing power of mindfulness and acceptance. Through vulnerability and resilience, she reminds us that even as memory slips away, love stays rooted. Whether you're a caregiver or seeking deeper understanding, this conversation offers compassion, strength, and hope.
