S3 EP2 Dementia and Loss

The Alzheimer’s Society’s latest campaign in the UK is called The Long Goodbye.

It centres around the potential feelings of grief and loss that it says both carers and those living with dementia can feel through the course of the disease.

Penny explores what this means and talks to carers Ame Chauhan and Candy Morris to hear their stories. She also speaks to Marion Child from the Alzheimer’s Society to find out why the campaign was launched.

CONTENT WARNING: This episode contains conversations about loss, grief and dying.
