Mum, Can We Talk?

The continuation of Living with Dementia. This time, we discuss what can be done in the worlds of medicine, family, business and society at large to aid people living with dementia and to benefit from the great gifts they have to offer. 

Happy World Alzheimer's Month/Dementia Awareness Month! After a hiatus, we're back to discuss this very personal and important topic. This month's conversation centers around the experience of early signs, diagnosis and living with dementia. Stay tuned for part 2 where we discuss experiences in various communities, including social philanthropic, medical, and broader society.

When do you have "the talk"? Where do you get your information from? How do you respond when your kid has a romantic partner? Mom lets us know exactly how she feels. Disclaimer: opinions expressed in this podcast are our own. These episodes record not just our opinions, but the manner in which we express and discuss them with each other.

What is tradition? Why does it matter? How do we benefit from it without chaining ourselves to it? This episode, Mum and I get into our own relationships with our traditions, what they've brought to our lives, and the 'tradition pitfalls' we work to avoid.

In the very first episode of Mum, Can We Talk, mum and I discuss something we talk about all the time: dying. From the practical process of will writing to the metaphysical questions around the afterlife, we reflect on our experiences of facing the universal truth of mortality.
