Trish Laub - Comfort in Their Journey

It is projected that by 2050, 16 million people in the US will be diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, requiring 80 million caregivers and generating total costs of $1.1 trillion. In observance of World Alzheimer's Day (Sept. 21), we're revisiting this "From the Vault" episode of Big Blend Radio  featuring Trish Laub who discusses her book series, “Comfort in Their Journey,” that provides practical guidance for providing care, including for Alzheimer’s, through end of life. The series  includes, “A Most Meaningful Life,” “Peaceful Endings,” and “Through the Rabbit Hole.”
Trish Laub is on a mission “to help others see that even with Alzheimer’s the possibilities are limitless and a meaningful life is possible, that death is due its dignity, and that everyone deserves compassionate and dignified care.”
While providing care for her parents, Trish found that there were hundreds of books and resources offering advice, but none that made the information easily accessible or provided usable solutions. The “Comfort in their Journey” book series is what Trish needed: forthright information and answers to everyone’s questions on topics that no one wants to talk about.
