If you’re caring for a senior loved one, you might feel alone, with the weight of her care being on your shoulders. A lot of us caring for loved ones get burned out and overwhelmed, laying awake at night worrying if we made the right choices that day. Sometimes we just want instant answers. Alzheimer’s Speaks podcast host Lori La Bey has partnered with Answers for Elders and joins Suzanne this hour to address the caregiver’s journey, part of the Vitality Revolution podcast series sponsored by Humana focusing this month on Emotional Wellness.
In this segment, Lori joins Suzanne to talk about co-authoring her new book ”Betty the Bald Chicken: Lessons in How to Care.” Betty was inspired by Lori’s journey caring for her mother, who lived thirty years with Alzheimer’s disease, but Betty’s story applies to most every human situation, from illness, bullying, addictions, divorce, and death, to everyday struggles of not feeling like we fit in or we are not understood.
