Ways to cope with grief and loss of a loved one from Alzheimers

Truth, Lies & Alzheimer’s – The Podcast is a collection of stories, caregiver tips,

proven solutions for caregivers and insights on how to navigate the heartbreaking

challenges of having a loved one diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease or dementia.

Everyone has a story about Alzheimer’s. It’s time to start the conversation about

Alzheimer’s and stop treating it like it’s only “Family Business.”

In this episode of Truth, Lies & Alzheimer’s – The Podcast, we contemplate grief,

loss and bereavement. According to a recent report by Alzheimer’s Disease

International, an estimated 50 million people are living with dementia due to

Alzheimer’s disease. Lisa Skinner talks with Lillian Cauldwell about her grief and

loss as well as provides some solutions and tools that can help people cope.

Most people who are close to someone with Alzheimer’s disease and dementia

will experience some level of grief, loss, or bereavement. This is because

Alzheimer’s disease and dementia are progressive (which means it will get worse

over time) and life-shortening. There will be lots of changes in behavior to adjust.

Lisa Skinner conducts an interview with Lillian Cauldwell that includes her history

as a pioneer in the field of podcasting, the mission of Passionate World Talk

Radio, and her experience with Alzheimer's disease. Lillian was the primary

caregiver for her husband who died of Alzheimer’s disease. The topics covered in

the interview include tips for dealing with Alzheimer’s, the symptoms of

Alzheimer’s, and how to deal with the grief of losing a loved one to this tragic

disease.

Ms. Lillian Cauldwell is an active author of three fiction books, a former disc jockey,

radio host and is now the President & CEO of her radio network,
