What if the first sign of dementia wasn’t memory loss, but a sudden fall that changed everything?
In this episode of The Care Collective Podcast, I sit down with Wendy, co-host of This Is Your Brain on Mom, to talk about her family’s real-life experience navigating the early stages of dementia and Alzheimer’s. We dive into the subtle signs that are often missed, how quickly cognitive decline can surface, and the emotional impact of stepping into a caregiving role for your parent.
Wendy shares what it’s like to care for her mom alongside her siblings, the challenges of balancing family, work, and caregiving, and how storytelling has become a powerful way to honor her mom’s life and legacy.
If you’re a caregiver, supporting a loved one with dementia, or trying to understand the early signs of Alzheimer’s, this episode offers honest insight, emotional support, and a reminder that you’re not alone.
