This week’s AlzAuthors episode dives deep with Eliezer Sobel into loss, laughter, and lifelong bonds. Plus: tips for caregivers, and the power of redirection.

I’m no fan of Charlie Kirk. But more violence is not the answer. I never hope for anyone’s injury or death. It doesn’t change minds or advance an agenda I would endorse.

Dubrovnik at night. Following a heavy rain, complete with thunder and lighting, followed by a quiet town that, thankfully, had a few places open for a late dinner. Beautiful place. Beautiful people.

Children can be confused by dementia in a loved one. Inspired by real experiences. Carol Steinberg’s, “Come Grandpa Meow, Let’s Fly” is a story that helps children understand. Listen to the podcast to learn more: alzauthors.com/blog/support...

Great time at CA Alzheimer’s Advocacy Day March 5, 2025. Alzheimer’s is the 3rd leading cause of death in CA and 7th worldwide. Estimates say 82 mil people worldwide will have a form of dementia and nearly 152 mil by 2050. No time to wait for research and support for families battling these diseases

Marilyn Raichle was raised to "walk away" if Alzheimer's struck, but she found a deeper connection and joy by staying. Her book, "Don't Walk Away," sheds light on seeing who remains rather than what's lost. In this podcast, she shares her caregiving journey.
