Imagine if you will, your father has Alzheimer’s Disease (for the last 4 years) and has been doing relatively well until being diagnosed with Covid-19. He then stops eating and drinking, is admitted to the hospital for dehydration, and returns to the Hospice care facility. He is still refusing to eat or drink and is now on his ninth day. You honestly don’t know how he is still alive after not eating or drinking for so long. This is starting to feel cruel. As a family member, what are you supposed to do? Of course, you Google this question and find out that the body cannot survive without water for more than three or four days, yet here we are.

In this interview on Passionate World Talk Radio Network, we interview Sally Herbert. Sally has a page called Dad Has Alzheimer’s to share her experiences and help others navigate the experience of being a caregiver.
