Greg Porell's show on WATD is worth an ear. If you're out of the area, log on to www.Southshoresenior.com and you can catch on. Judy Flynn Esq. was on talking about some of those legal jams people get themselves into due to lack of education. For example, if you are called on to be a guardian or conservator for someone, what is entailed? What are your responsibilities, your obligations legally? She mentioned a website that can help. It is www.massguardianship.org. There are explanations of guardianship and some downloads to take advantage of. She can be reached at www.thelegalcheckup.com for specific help. I mostly listened the first part of the show as I need to learn as well.
My part of the show is the segment once monthly called Matters of the Mind, the same title as my column, also available at www.southshoresenior.com. It is a fun show; Greg makes it so with his easy going nature. I spoke about New Beginnings; that in the course of Alzheimer's there are new beginnings as loss of function is recognized. It is a time for new learning to meet this new challenge. With every loss there is a new beginning; that is life. Probably in the Alzheimer caregiving journey it is more poignant as we are apt to think, I've never done it that way before. But do it a new way, you must, if you are to have an easier journey. The coach can help through all the new beginnings as can support groups. Our coaches run five support groups, so they are aware of the changes that take place in a person with Alzheimer's.
