Episode Synopsis

Dementia, Mutts, and Music What It's Really Like When Your Husband Has Alzheimer's Disease Lori La Bey talks with Sue Fagalde Lick the author of No Way Out of This: Loving a Partner with Alzheimer's. This is not the kind of Alzheimer’s memoir where you read about a noble, self-sacrificing wife who gives up everything to take care of her husband. Nobody’s that good. Certainly, Sue says she isn’t.  Learn: 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. End-of-Life Planning. Dynamics of long-distance family members. Recognizing and dealing with your own anxiety and depression. How several moves for a person living with dementia can be difficult.   Listen and Subscribe to Alzheimer’s Speaks on Apple Podcast https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/alzheimers-speaks/id986940432 Listen and Subscribe to Alzheimer’s Speaks on Spotify https://open.spotify.com/show/255okRnEgfCUqXq1NWcrT3 Other Podcasts https://pod.link/986940432 Blog Post https://alzheimersspeaks.com/blog/ Dementia Map https://www.dementiamap.com/events/#!calendar    Contact Information for Sue Fagalde Lick Website: https://www.suelick.com Substack: https://suelick.substack.com  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/suelick Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/suefagaldelick Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/suelick   Contact Lori La Bey with questions or branding needs at https://www.alzheimersspeaks.com/ Alzheimer's Speaks Radio - Shifting dementia care from crisis to comfort around the world one episode at a time by raising all voices and delivering sound news, not just sound bites since 2011.
