I'm thankful for fall. I'm thankful for the amazing people in my life. And I'm thankful for you, caregiver.
You may also be feeling thankful as we enter the season of gratitude. Or you may not. You may be feeling worn down, stretched thin, and I get it.
So many of us get it.
So, the weekend of Thanksgiving, Friday, November 24, Saturday, November 25, and Sunday, November 26, the cast and I offer you complimentary access to the film Wine, Women, & Dementia to let you know that however you are feeling, we are thankful for you.
Please share this screening opportunity with your caregiver connections. After you've viewed the film, please create a video or a post with your thoughts on the film and share it to #thankful4caregivers hashtag on Insta, FB, and/or TikTok.
And if no one else has thought to mention they're thankful for you, this group of former and current caregivers truly are.
Cheers, caregivers!
The Cast of Wine, Women, & Dementia
The world is facing a crisis as baby boomers age into dementia. The U.S. is no exception with an estimated 16 million unpaid dementia family caregivers currently punching dementia in the face every damn day while trying to keep our dementia loved ones and ourselves afloat emotionally, physically, financially.
The documentary feature Wine, Women, and Dementia exposes the isolation, financial stress, physical and emotional toll these family caregivers shoulder for their dementia loved ones and themselves.
And in a system that offers few resources or support, they build community, champion each other, and learn to celebrate LIFE on the long road to death.
