Alzheimer’s Disease: Help and Hope for Caregivers – Susan Wahlers

Joni and Friends Ministry Podcast - A podcast by Joni and Friends - Thursdays

When Susan Wahlers learned her husband Dave was diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer’s disease, their life was thrown into disarray. As they struggled with the progressive disease, friends faded into the background, caregiving became consuming, and Susan wrestled with loneliness, discouragement, and exhaustion. But God authored a transformation in their life, even as Dave’s health declined. When Dave passed away in 2019, God ignited a passion in Susan to help other caregivers. She joins the podcast to share her story and help caregivers find strategies for better living as they support their loved ones with Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia.
