Synopsis
In this caregiver spotlight episode, meet Jean Lee whose parents were both diagnosed with Alzheimer's on the same day. Jean took care of her parents while working as a teacher. Her personal journal documenting her parents' 'oddities' later helped her write her memoir. Jean also found support in reading other people's personal experiences with Alzheimer's which led to her connecting with other authors and creating AlzAuthors - a community of over 200 authors. In this episode, we discuss the struggle between wanting to remain private and loyal to your family and yet connect with and support other caregivers.
