Ep. 39 - Guest: Mary Cail

Mary McDaniel Cail earned her PhD and two additional graduate degrees from the University of Virginia. Her op-eds, articles and essays have been published by the Los Angeles Times, the Miami Herald, the Chicago Tribune, Maria Shriver's Architects of Change series, and the University of Virginia alumni magazine, Virginia, among others. Alzheimer's: A Crash Course for Friends and Relatives was chosen for inclusion in the 2015 Virginia Festival of the Book, and her work to create social opportunities for Alzheimer's patients and caregivers in her community was featured on the Charlottesville, VA Newsplex series, Stephanie's Heroes.

In this episode, Mary bravely shares: her experiences of profound grief; how she made it through the unthinkable and how her pain has blossomed into her life's work; the importance of informed compassion (and what that means)-- and how to be an all-weather-friend to those you love.

She is the author of Alzheimer's: A Crash Course for Friends and Relatives— and her forthcoming book, Dementia and the Church: Memory, Care, and Inclusion, is to be released by Fortress Press on September 19, 2023. 📚
