Mom Forgot My Birthday: A ‘How-Not-To’ Guide for Caregivers   

#CaringForMom  #ADaughtersJourney #DementiaCare

Lori La Bey talks with Sonya Jury, a board member for the Alzheimer’s Association, Heart of America Chapter, and the author of Mom Forgot My Birthday: A Daughter’s Journey Through Alzheimer’s. Her book is a raw "how-not-to" guide for navigating the complexities of caregiving. Sonya draws on her personal experiences with her mother, Dean, and she provides caregivers with the information she wishes she’d had before her mother was diagnosed.

Learn:
About experiences that shift people from a supportive caregiver to a primary caregiver, and how that happened.
About Sonya's “How-not-to” guide, and she tells us why she wrote it this way, and also shares a few of the lessons she learned that she hopes others don’t have to go through.
What you can expect from Sonya’s book regarding:

- Early-Stage Alzheimer’s (mild)
- Middle-Stage Alzheimer’s (moderate)
- Late-Stage Alzheimer’s (severe)
Key differences between these stages from a caregiving perspective
Some key resources available to caregivers that weren’t available a decade ago.
