Ep57: A different way to care for parents with Alzheimer's

Beschreibung

“When we get Alzheimer’s… walk away.” That’s what her mother told her—there was nothing to be done, so why sacrifice your life? But Marilyn Raichle chose a different path. In this moving conversation, Marilyn shares how growing up surrounded by Alzheimer’s shaped her views on caregiving, and how supporting both of her parents through dementia transformed her from reluctant caregiver to someone who found unexpected joy and connection in the journey. We talk about shifting from seeing people as “suffering from” dementia to truly living with it—and how creativity, presence, and small moments can bring meaning even in hard seasons. Marilyn also shares how her mother’s artistic awakening inspired her work celebrating the creativity and dignity of those living with dementia. This episode is a gentle, powerful reminder: even in the most difficult chapters, there can still be beauty, purpose, and deep connection.
