Open to meet Jennifer Fink, podcaster and blogger at Fading Memories, and find our latest podcast, events, and more!

Dec 01, 2021 5:01 pm

Dear Friend of AlzAuthors,

Jennifer Fink started a podcast to support Alzheimer's and dementia caregivers four years ago. Based on her own personal experience caring for her mother, Jennifer imparts both wisdom and humor in her weekly episodes, where she interviews a variety of knowledgeable guests. And she's started a blog to support the podcast.

Jennifer says:

The goal for creating the podcast was simple: offer caregivers a simple way to access support and information while handling their many tasks. Being able to tune in to a topic when you need help or inspiration is one way to help a caregiver in the thick of a challenge.

On The Podcast

The Rev. Dr. Cynthia Huling Hummel is an Alzheimer's artist, author, and advocate. She is the author of "UnMasking Alzheimer's: The Memories Behind the Mask,” a collection of photos of the 36 masks she created as a participant in an arts program called "Art Reflects" for those living with memory loss and their care partners. Cynthia says she started with one mask and couldn't stop! Each one reveals a story that speaks to her experience of living with early onset Alzheimer’s. In this episode, we discuss how life doesn’t stop after an Alzheimer’s diagnosis, her new ministry as an advocate for those living with dementia, and her exhaustive schedule of activities, filled with the arts, education, and many surprising adventures. Start listening now.

ICYMI

Carol Bradley Bursack, an author, columnist, consultant, and speaker who provided care to a neighbor and six elderly family members over the span of two decades. This experience led her to write Minding Our Elders: Caregivers Share Their Personal Stories, a portable support group for caregivers that is also used as a college text for gerontology and nursing home administration classes. In this episode we discuss caring for our loved ones with dementia by entering their world, managing medications, and the trials and tribulations of long term care. Start listening now.

We were thrilled to be on Amazon Live yesterday with Motivational Listener D. Scott Smith and Aging Enthusiast Christine A. Smith. They offered us their support on #GivingTuesday to help raise awareness of AlzAuthors and our collection of books to Amazon shoppers, to encourage them to choose us as their designated charity for their SMILE program. SMILE enables Amazon customers to support their favorite non-profits at no personal expense. Over a dozen of our authors met online and spoke about their books. You can catch up on the program and learn more about our authors and their books here. And don’t forget to choose AlzAuthors as your SMILE charity!
