129. Wine, Women and Dementia: How One Woman Found Community With Kitty Norton

Christian Dementia Caregiving: Conversations To Ease the Stress, Overwhelm and Burden of Alzheimer’s/Dementia Care From A Biblical Perspective.

Have you found joy in your dementia caregiving journey?

Caring for a loved one with dementia can be challenging. But it can also be a journey filled with unexpected joy and community. In this episode of the "Dementia Caregiving for Families" podcast, Lizette welcomes Kitty Norton, who has created a unique documentary titled "Wine, Women, and Dementia." https://www.winewomenanddementia.com/

In 2016, Kitty Norton left her job as an NBC assistant editor in Los Angeles, for her hometown of Portland, Oregon, to walk, stumble, and crawl with her mother with dementia to death’s door.

While doing so, she authored the dementia caregiver blog Stumped Town Dementia, writing tales of dementia life which resonated deeply with readers around the world.

Kitty created and directed the dementia family caregiver documentary, "Wine, Women, & Dementia," to honor this journey with her mother, to spread awareness of the caregiver side of the equation in dementia, and to celebrate family caregivers; to let them know they are not alone, and are worthy of being seen and respected alongside their person living with dementia on this difficult road to the end of life.

Lizette also promotes the upcoming "Ask the Dementor" monthly meetup, a small group session offering support and guidance for caregivers. This is a great opportunity to connect with others and get personalized advice.
