My relentless pursuit for the others – EXCLUSIVE feature on AlzAuthors.com!

I met this amazing group of ladies at the National Caregiving Conference. They call themselves the AlzAuthors.

They are six daughters who have experienced the loss of a loved one with dementia and chose to write about their personal stories to help others along their journey.

Now, they feature hundreds of books and authors of all kinds, from memoirs to practical guides, and yes, even bloggers like me.

Check out my reflection on searching for support, sending out smoke signals, and starting this blog at alzauthors.com.

Rachel’s Caregiving Story Featured on MemoryWell

As I look forward to my blogiversary, I find myself thinking a lot about the day I became a caregiver and all of the crazy events that have transpired as we have stumbled and steadied ourselves along life’s path leading up to now.

My “caregiversary” is a date I will never forget.

Recently, I had the pleasure of being interviewed by Beth Braverman at MemoryWell, who did a feature on millennial caregivers. When I read the article she wrote, tears came to my eyes. It beautifully captured exactly how I feel about caregiving for my grandma and how my life has changed since I took on this very important role.
