Y. Y. Chan, author of "Grandma, It's Me!" a children's story about dementia
Jun 15, 2022 4:16 am
Dear AlzAuthor,
While all else may be lost, love persists. It lasts until the end and beyond; in our hearts forever.
💜 💜 💜
Introducing our latest author: Y. Y. Chan
Y. Y. Chan shares that her story isn’t just about dementia, but about unconditional love. No matter what stage of life or challenges our loved ones are going through, we should simply love them through their journey, and love them until the end.
Her hope for her children's book:
I hope that through this book, children can understand more, not only about Alzheimer’s disease and dementia symptoms, but also more about their own emotions. I want to encourage more children to tell their loved ones they love them, and to simply be present and spend time together – even if they can’t remember.

On the Podcast:
Chris MacLellan is well-known in caregiving circles. You might know him as The Bow Tie Guy – because, he says, “Wearing a bow tie is like wearing two smiles." Or you might know him from his caregiving blog, The Purple Jacket, where he chronicled his and his partner Richard’s journey with esophageal cancer. Or you might know him as the founder of The Whole Care Network, featuring a variety of podcasts, blogs and videos to provide caregivers with much needed resources. In fact, Chris is the reason this podcast exists!
Chris is the author of "What's The Deal with Caregiving?" a powerful and compelling book written from his own experience that informs caregivers about how to deal with the challenges they will encounter, regardless of sexual orientation, family situation, or age. In this episode we discuss the value storytelling podcasts bring to caregiving, walking into caregiving with eyes wide open, and the beauty of the caregiving family.

Short on time and can't read the book? Come anyway. This is a wonderful way to learn more about dementia and caregiving. All participants must pre-register to reserve their seat. There is no cost.
