EP 131 :: Dementia Stories through Expressive Arts :: Breeda Miller

Being imperfect is perfectly human. And with so many unknowns for first-time caregivers, they should never be afraid to ask for help. Bobbi & Mike talk with Breeda Miller, whose story about helping her mother at the end of her life has resonated with millions. And now her one-act play tells the story of her mother, from a young woman to a spirited senior coping with dementia. Breeda’s stories are full of powerful insights that all family caregivers will find helpful.
