    Image by russelljsmith via FlickrThe attached video includes a wonderful metaphor for the “Caregiver’s Journey” and reflects my own experience as a caregiver.  We may not love it, but if we can learn to go with the flow, we will be fine.

    The video is the opening to a six part lecture on Lewy Body Dementia.  The other five parts of the lecture can be found on YouTube. The lecturer is Tanis J. Ferman, Ph.D., at the Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, Florida.
