    pisode 33, PART 2 - with Cindy and Pauline.

    Navigating a dementia diagnosis with your spouse is a journey that reshapes the way you communicate. As a care partner, open and patient communication becomes essential—not just with your loved one, but also with family and friends. Each relationship calls for a different style: gentle honesty with your partner, clear updates for family, and compassionate awareness with friends. Connection starts with understanding, and every conversation counts.

    Listen to Pauline's perspective on communication.
