About Sue Ryan

The caregiver journey can either make us or break us. Sue Ryan experienced dementia for more than 30 years with several loved ones, including her father, and now her husband. These journeys have opened her heart and mind to greater possibilities, to understand herself better, and to create opportunities to share her hard-earned knowledge with other caregivers, who may be lost and unsure of their way.

A speaker, storyteller, educator, coach, and mentor, Sue has spent her life working with both professionals in the corporate setting and with dementia caregivers, helping them find new ways to live and work better. Over the course of her work, she says, she became the master of transitions, and she’s here to help you become the master of yours.

She founded the online course, Our Journey of Love, which teaches caregiving lessons, tips, strategies, videos, and exercises to help caregivers move from feeling frustrated and overwhelmed to feeling supported and balanced as they care for a loved one.

She is the author of the international best-selling book,Our Journey of Love: 5 Steps to Navigate Your Caregiving Journey, which offers readers lessons, tips, and tricks she learned from decades of caregiving.

In this episode, we discuss dementia care during COVID, how to attain massive acceptance and radical presence for your caregiving journey, the Scarlett O’Hara approach to caregiving, and the value of V8 moments.

About Dr. Barbara Ella Milton, Jr., LCSW

Caring for a mother with Alzheimer’s can be difficult. Compound that with your own cancer diagnosis and treatment, as well as 90 miles between you, and the experience borders on impossible. But Dr. Barbara Ella Milton Jr. heeded her mother’s call to step in and offer her support throughout her journey. She asked herself three important questions when she got the call: Could I? Should I? Would I? The answers were yes, yes, and yes.

So began their dementia journey, after lifelong relationship struggles and difficulties encountered due to poverty, racism, and homophobia. She tells her story in her memoir, Heeding the Caregiver Call: The Story of Barbara Ella Milton, Sr. and Alzheimer’s Disease.

Barbarais a disabled, retired clinical social worker who, for forty years, worked on behalf of children and communities and for progressive causes. She writes about her life, her social work career, and her research on African American resilience. Her goal is to use her energy for personal healing, advocacy, and to put love and hope into the world. She was born in Camden, New Jersey as the only child of Barbara Ella Milton Sr., who died from Alzheimer’s in January 2019. Barbara lives in North Jersey with her wife, Kay. They enjoy a life rich with family and friends.

In this episode, we discuss how she managed her mother’s care while managing her own, dealing with deep-rooted trust issues, becoming the conductor of an orchestra of help, and the 40 first dates of iterative grief.

Jennifer Fink Untangles Podcasts, an Essential Tool for Dementia Caregivers

1h 4m · Published 13 Dec 08:00

Jennifer Fink is the daughter, granddaughter, and great granddaughter of three women who have succumbed to Alzheimer’s or other cognitive impairments. Her quest to discover how not to become the fourth generation in her family with this condition, while also seeking ways to better connect with her mother, led her to her new passion, podcasting. She is the producer and host of Fading Memories, a podcast that listens, hears, and offers wisdom and hope from caregivers who have lived the experience.

Jennifer discovered long ago that podcasts are an easily accessible way to learn new things. She could walk the dog or do housework while learning about a variety of topics. But when she searched for shows that might help her find answers to her many questions about Alzheimer’s, she did not find what she was looking for, so she decided to create one herself.

In its fourth season, Fading Memories focuses on conversations with people who offer resources and ideas for whatever stage of dementia your loved one is in. It’s part helpful information and part true stories from caregivers like you and is for anyone caring for a loved one with Alzheimer’s or dementia.

In this episode, we discuss the importance of estate planning sooner rather than later, dealing with a difficult sibling in caregiving, and how cycling kept her sane.

You can also “read” the podcast on her blog, which is available on the FadingMemories.com website.

Edie Weinstein Untangles How Children’s Books Can Diminish Barriers Caused by Dementia

52m · Published 06 Dec 11:01

Edie Weinstein is the youngest of the AlzAuthors. She published her illustrated children’s book, Grandpa and Lucy: A Story About Love and Dementia, at the tender age of 16! But today, at 18 and a college student, she may be one of our wisest contributors.

Unlike most of our authors, Edie did not write her book because of a personal experience with dementia. She wrote it as a Girl Scouts Silver Award Project because her grandpa did not have dementia.

After learning about the condition at a Dementia Friends meeting, she realized that for many kids, dementia is a barrier to a happy relationship with their grandparent, which prevents them from enjoying the kind of loving relationship she enjoyed with her Grandpa.

So, she wrote a heartwarming story and seven of her teen friends collaborated with her on the illustrations. Their goal was to help other kids understand the condition, and to show them that their relationship with Grandpa (or Grandma) need not change after a diagnosis.

Edie is an inspiring, intelligent young woman who is clearly going places. You will enjoy this delightful interview, where we explore what sparked her interest in dementia, what happened after she published her book (hint: theater is involved), and how the experience of publishing a book about dementia at such a young age has enhanced her life.

Cynthia Huling Hummel Untangles the Memories Behind the Masks

48m · Published 29 Nov 11:00

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. She hopes that her mask collection will travel around the country and provide a better understanding of the challenges of living with a cognitive disorder. She also hopes that it will reduce the stigma of a dementia diagnosis and serve as a catalyst for opening discussions about the condition.

Cynthia was diagnosed with Mild Cognitive Impairment in 2011. This changed to clinical Alzheimer's in 2016. She does not let her diagnosis stop her. In fact, she does everything she can to raise awareness and funds for research and support services for those living with memory conditions. She’s enrolled in several clinical trials and urges everyone to learn more at Trialmatch.alz.org. She loves public speaking and has given more than 50 talks to community groups.A former pastor, she especially enjoys speaking to faith communities on how to be more dementia friendly.

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.

James Russell Untangles Caring for a Daughter with Dementia

56m · Published 15 Nov 08:00

James Russell is a man caring for his daughter with early onset Alzheimer’s in assisted living. Lynn was diagnosed in 2017 at the age of 51. She represents the fourth generation of the Russell family affected by dementia. In the early days of her diagnosis, Jim, her dad, and her mother, Karen, relocated from their home to be closer to Lynn, and to assist with the care of her three growing sons. Eventually, Karen succumbed to cancer and Jim carried on, moving to an apartment two blocks from Lynn so he can be involved daily in her life. He tells their story on his blog, Nevertheless Dementia, We Persist, where he recounts the daily struggles, joys, and epiphanies of life with Alzheimer’s.

In many ways, Lynn’s condition has brought them closer together, especially as Jim is researching and writing a memoir about their experience which has allowed him to enter parts of his daughter’s life he had not ventured into before. His research has given him the privilege of interviewing many of her friends and work colleagues across her lifespan and he now sees his daughter in a whole new light, appreciating accomplishments he knew nothing of and seeing her through others’ eyes.

In this episode, we discuss the wonders of the village that emerged to help him care for Lynn, how he goes about documenting her life, and how we can support someone in assisted living.
