About this listen

Hi there, I'm Jason van Genderen, and I co-cared for my mum Hendrika (Oma) with mixed dementias. Let's start at Day 1... the awkward steps of fumbling towards a diagnosis. In this episode, I talk about the first signs we knew something was different with my mother, and the realisation that my role (as her son) would soon need to grow to be a whole lot more.
