Fading Memories: Alzheimer's/Dementia Caregiver Support


Alzheimer’s Trippin’ With George

July 12, 2024

Please enjoy this "trippin" rebroadcast about a reluctant caregiver and her dementia decision.





What do you do when your spouse is diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease? Do you run for the hills or plan a 10,000-mile trip? Thankfully, today's guest planned the trip, blogged about it, and turned her experiences into two books!


Alzheimer's Trippin' with George is a brutally honest journal of one spouse and reluctant caregiver who "ran for the hills." Of course, she took her husband George along. What challenges did Susan encounter? How can she enjoy the present - a journey across the U.S.A - while worrying about the future? How do she and George deal with his increasing dementia symptoms?


The biggest question is, after 40 years together, can they remain married and loving through it all? Travel along with George and Susan. You will learn, laugh, and maybe shed a tear as you go "Alzheimer's Trippin' with George.
