Truth, Lies & Alzheimer’s – The Podcast is a collection of stories, caregiver tips,
proven solutions for caregivers and insights on how to navigate the heartbreaking
challenges of having a loved one diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease or dementia.
Everyone has a story about Alzheimer’s. It’s time to start the conversation about
Alzheimer’s and stop treating it like it’s only “Family Business.”
In this episode of Truth, Lies & Alzheimer’s – The Podcast, we contemplate grief,
loss and bereavement. According to a recent report by Alzheimer’s Disease
International, an estimated 50 million people are living with dementia due to
Alzheimer’s disease. Lisa Skinner talks with Lillian Cauldwell about her grief and
loss as well as provides some solutions and tools that can help people cope.
Most people who are close to someone with Alzheimer’s disease and dementia
will experience some level of grief, loss, or bereavement. This is because
Alzheimer’s disease and dementia are progressive (which means it will get worse
over time) and life-shortening. There will be lots of changes in behavior to adjust.
Lisa Skinner conducts an interview with Lillian Cauldwell that includes her history
as a pioneer in the field of podcasting, the mission of Passionate World Talk
Radio, and her experience with Alzheimer's disease. Lillian was the primary
caregiver for her husband who died of Alzheimer’s disease. The topics covered in
the interview include tips for dealing with Alzheimer’s, the symptoms of
Alzheimer’s, and how to deal with the grief of losing a loved one to this tragic
disease.
Ms. Lillian Cauldwell is an active author of three fiction books, a former disc jockey,
radio host and is now the President & CEO of her radio network,
