Dementia Widow

Fay Martin, author of Dementia Widow: A Memoir about Love, Death, and Survival, speaks about what she learned by delving into the depths of 25 years of living with dementia - the very difficult process of giving herself permission to diagnose it early and trade in the role of wife for caregiver, managing more than a decade of pretty productive and pleasant years, a couple years of sliding into a good death, and the first two years of being a real widow.
