Memoirs of a Caregiver

Cynthia Young is a published author who currently resides in Southern California. She will be our guest on consecutive programs, September 12th and again September 26th. Both podcasts will focus on her helpful literary contributions. Cynthia wrote Memoirs of a Caregiver to share her journey as a caregiver to four family members stricken with Alzheimer’s disease. Being a long distance caregiver comes with many challenges and Young writes about them and the struggles and triumphs that she encountered along the way. Three other books chronicle life, as she sees it, via collections of rhyme. For most families, having just one member afflicted with Alzheimer's can be devastating. In her poignant memoir, Cynthia shares her story of love and devotion as she learns how to care for four family members stricken with Alzheimer's disease, over a ten-year period. Young narrates a journey filled with laughter, challenges, and sorrow as she commutes from California to Michigan to care for her mother, two aunts, and a cousin. She provides insight into how the disease progresses and gradually destroys the memory and abilities to learn, reason, make sound judgments, communicate, and carry out daily activities. Join us as we have an open and candid discussion that will extend beyond the normal 15 minute segment. During Cynthia's second appearance, we will look forward to her unraveling some of the rhymes found in her first collection, Cynthology: A Collection of Rhymes.
