概要
In this deeply personal episode of Retired Life, Wish You Were Here, we sit down with Tammy McCabe, a nurse anesthetist who cared for her husband—an anesthesiologist—after he was diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer’s and vascular dementia at just 59.
Tammy shares what it’s really like to love, support, and care for a spouse through the progression of this disease—from the first signs, to the daily realities of caregiving, to the quiet moments of connection that still shine through.
This conversation is for anyone facing dementia, caregiving, or the unexpected loss of the future they once planned.
