You walk into a room and forget why. That’s normal.

"Dementia isn't just a diagnosis – it's a family disease." 💙 This week, we revisit a popular episode where we talked with Dr. Brent P. Forester, geriatric psychiatrist at Tufts University School of Medicine and co-author of “The Complete Family Guide to Dementia.” He shares why early diagnosis matters, how to navigate the painful relationship shift with your loved one, and strategies to care smarter (not harder). This conversation offers the clarity and support every caregiver needs. If you're feeling overwhelmed, guilty, or alone in your caregiving journey, this episode is for you.

What does real memory care actually look like — and could it be the greatest act of love you give someone? In this heartfelt episode, host Dawn Platt sits down with Danielle, a daughter navigating one of the most difficult decisions a family can face: whether to transition her 84-year-old father, a retired NYPD officer with Alzheimer's, into a memory care community.

Dawn pulls back the curtain on Discovery Senior Living's GLOW Memory Care Program — a comprehensive, science-backed approach that goes far beyond basic care. From personalized programming rooted in each resident's unique life story, to specialized dining techniques, music therapy, legacy preservation, and 24/7 family collaboration, GLOW is redefining what it means to truly support someone living with dementia. If you've ever wondered how to honor the person your loved one has always been while keeping them safe, engaged, and deeply connected, this episode is for you.

When dementia enters a marriage, the relationship you've built together begins to shift in ways you never anticipated. You're still partners, but the dynamics are changing — and so are you.

For this second episode of our February series on Love, Loss, and Connection, we're bringing back an important conversation with host Dawn Platt as she explores what it means to care for a spouse living with dementia. She shares practical guidance on adapting to your evolving roles, maintaining your own well-being amid the demands of caregiving, and working through the challenges that arise along the way.

Whether you're newly navigating this journey or have been walking this path for a while, this conversation offers both insight and solidarity as we examine how dementia reshapes our closest relationships, and how those bonds endure.
