Living with (LBD)—or caring for someone who is—can feel like navigating a maze with no map. The symptoms are complex, the emotions are raw, and the path forward often feels uncertain. One of the most powerful tools we have in this journey is the support we share with each other.

Connecting with others who understand the unique challenges of LBD can be life-changing. Whether you are a or living with the diagnosis yourself, engaging in open, honest conversations with others in similar situations offers more than just comfort—it offers clarity, strength, and hope.

LBDA’s support groups and pages, connections with Lewy Buddy volunteers, and community gatherings create safe spaces where stories are shared, burdens are lightened, and wisdom is passed from one heart to another. In these moments, we find understanding that transcends words. We learn practical tips, discover resources, and gain fresh perspectives that can make daily life more manageable. Perhaps most importantly, we feel seen. We feel heard. And we realize we are not alone.

Reach out. Share your story. Listen to someone else’s. In doing so, you will not only find support— you will help build a community where compassion and resilience thrive.
