Mom Forgot My Birthday: A ‘How-Not-To’ Guide for Caregivers   

#CaringForMom  #ADaughtersJourney #DementiaCare

Lori La Bey talks with Sonya Jury, a board member for the Alzheimer’s Association, Heart of America Chapter, and the author of Mom Forgot My Birthday: A Daughter’s Journey Through Alzheimer’s. Her book is a raw “how-not-to” guide for navigating the complexities of caregiving. Sonya draws on her personal experiences with her mother, Dean, and she provides caregivers with the information she wishes she’d had before her mother was diagnosed.
