Lauren describes noticing her mother's speech becoming jumbled in August 2022, which led to a challenging path to diagnosis involving family dynamics between her, her two sisters, and their father. Lauren so astutely recounts how navigating the family dynamics helped her recognize their family patterns - and ultimately helped her realize her own strength in showing up for difficult situations.This is such an incredibly raw, deep and meaningful conversation and we are so thankful to Lauren for opening up to us.

Christy found a way to navigate her father's FTD diagnosis with poise -- From fighting for a diagnosis to navigating 4 different Memory Care facilities... Christy seemed to go above and beyond to provide the best loving care for her dad. What was so apparent to us - was how naturally she adapted to his reality - always keeping his personhood at the forefront of her mind. But it was not without so much sacrifice and grief - sharing how deeply the disease impacted her family. But ultimately we saw Christy's story as the most amazing example for her children of devotion and service - and what we do for the people we love.Thank you for sharing your story with us, Christy.
