Have you experienced a life with someone going through dementia?

Or have you been the support person for someone with dementia?

Or perhaps, the support person, of the support person for a person with dementia?

Fay talks about it all.

Watching her husband Michael walk through first a cancer diagnosis and treatment and then, to receive a diagnosis of Dementia (albeit, long after Fay was certain he had it but no doctors would confirm), Fay candidly shares with us what this journey was like for her.

Death is a tricky thing. Grief, even trickier. There is no one right way to handle either of them. Then add on being the care taker of someone that you typically wouldn't be a caretaker for and how that shifts the relational dynamic and what and when you actually grieve the loss of that relationship... its a topic that needs to be danced around and through to be able to really get a grip on just what it can be like.

Fay Martin wrote her book Dementia Widow, in attempts to help other spouses who are walking the path of being that support person, or even just the spouse of someone dealing with dementia.

If you have had any experience with dementia, we know this episode is for you.

And if you have ever wanted to understand what it might be like for someone who has recently lost a loved one, who had a long battle with any medical diagnosis; this episode is also for you.
