Lori La Bey talks with Sue Fagalde Lick the author of No Way Out of This: Loving a Partner with Alzheimer's.

Why it's tough to get an actual diagnosis.

Second marriages and how that can affect things.

How sexual relationships can change.

Therapy is not a bad word!

Dealing with tough decisions.

We also dive into the benefits of exercise.
The importance of the Phrases – Nothing About Us Without Us and Nothing About Me Without Me

Truthful’s Blog on dementia symptoms and strategies.
Using a cell phone for strategies, pictures to help remember things or events, calendars, and reminder alerts.
Quality of Life for people living with dementia. *Bidets, what a wonderful tool as the disease progresses.
