About this episode
What does it take to be a caregiver for a partner with dementia?
As we head into our 4th season of Everyone Dies, we are beginning a series about caregiving for people diagnosed with a dementing illness. There are many aspects to this caregiving role, not the least of which are the many years and intensity of caregiving required. The loss of role as spouse or child, the intensity of the around the clock care, the loneliness of the work…all requires a commitment and strength that we may not think we have. This week we talk with Michael Porter about his experiences caring for his wife for 12 years with Huntington’s Disease.
