Our guest Sheryl Scheuer is a dementia educator and support group leader. She also was a long distance caregiver for her mom who had dementia for 20 years. Sheryl talks about "time traveling" with her mom as the dementia deepened. Sheryl also believes the words we use like "suffering" have a big influence on how caregivers cope with the challenges of dementia.
