When They Forget
Jennifer & Debbie
When They Forget is an Alzheimer's stories podcast. It is a call in show where listeners share their stories about caring for a loved one with Alzheimer's or other dementia. Your hosts, Jennifer and Debbie, started this show as a way to share their experiences with their mother, who has Alzheimer's from a traumatic brain injury. Alzheimer's disease is the sixth leading cause of death in the United States and there is no cure! The Alzheimer's community of support is large and fierce. Sharing our stories helps us to feel less alone and isolated as we face this disease and care for our loved ones through this longest of goodbyes. Please call in and share your story.
