This is a special episode of Fading Memories. It's actually the first one I ever recorded. There is a lot of audio of various interactions I had with Mom. I started Fading Memories because I was desperate to find ways to make my visits with her more meaningful. Hours of visits where she asks me the same question over and over and over are not how I want to remember the last few years of her life.
Ever felt lost in the world of caregiving? You're not alone. This episode is a raw, unfiltered look at what inspired the creation of Fading Memories. Discover the frustration, determination, and love that fueled this podcast.
From endless repetitive questions to the overwhelming search for support, I share my personal journey as a caregiver.Hear firsthand the challenges that led to the creation of a podcast designed to offer real help, practical advice, and a sense of community.
This special episode is a time capsule of the beginning of Fading Memories. Enjoy the ride!
