Manage episode 452396354 series 3596011
Happy Thanksgiving! In this encore episode, Hello Alzheimer's host Karla Hult talks with Myrna Marofsky, author of To the Last Dance: A Partner's Story of Living and Loving through Dementia. The two reflect on how the holidays changed when dementia showed up as the uninvited guest. But both Myrna and Karla -- as a loving partner and a loving daughter, respectively -- also shared how they stumbled upon the most important survival strategy of them all: Looking for the joy that still exists in the quieter moments... what Myrna calls "Scrapbook Moments."
This conversation will make you laugh, cry and, most importantly, learn, as Karla also shares some valuable advice from the National Institute on Aging and the Alzheimer's Association. Truly... it's possible to find joy during the holidays, despite Alzheimer's or other dementia. Sending everyone love and comfort on this holiday and always.
