Episode Synopsis

The Silver Lining of Alzheimer’s Lori La Bey talks with Eliezer Sobel, who managed the last six years of at-home care for his mother, with the help of his wife Shari, whose Alzheimer’s journey lasted 20 years. His new memoir, The Silver Lining of Alzheimer’s: One Son’s Journey into the Mystery, focuses on the joy and healing that his mother’s process brought to the family while not sugarcoating the many difficulties.  Learn: Why is connection everything when caring for someone with dementia? How was your ability to adapt to your mother's dementia different from how your father dealt with it? What does “the happiness of memory loss” mean to you? Explanation of what “reframing” means. Honoring the humor with our relationships, even when dementia hits.   Watch the Video Interview Below https://youtu.be/QnHwf4XsoLc?si=0zOztTIKYlZSBp68   Listen and Subscribe to Alzheimer’s Speaks on Apple Podcast https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-silver-lining-of-alzheimers/id986940432?i=1000702018294   Listen and Subscribe to Alzheimer’s Speaks on Spotify https://open.spotify.com/episode/19728DfoShchQFBaoZlWrd   Other Podcasts https://pod.link/986940432    Alzheimer's Speaks Blog Post https://alzheimersspeaks.com/the-silver-lining-of-alzheimers/   Dementia Map  https://dementiamap.com/events/#!event/2025/4/3/the-silver-lining-of-alzheimer-8217-s   Contact Eliezer Sobel         https://www.elemipress.com https://www.eliezersobel.com https://www.facebook.com/eliezersobel   Maudes Awards Applications open until May 19th  https://maudesawards.org/ Artis Senior Living Events on April 10th – Dementia Behaviors/Expressions/Clues Professionals    https://artis-senior-living.ce-go.com/shifting-care-culture-from-chrisis-to-comfort Families  https://zoom.us/meeting/register/2xevnGBRTymBsEvAN6XSsg#/registration Dementia Together Gala & Fundraiser https://dementiatogether.org/annual-events/joy-on-the-journey/ Connecting Caregivers Conference https://connectingcaregiversconference.com/ Cue for Good – Web Master https://www.cueforgood.com/ Be A Giver Of Hope https://alzheimersspeaks.com/free-tools/  or https://dementiamap.com/giver-of-hope/   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.
