"To perceive this [caregiving for someone with Alzheimer's] as a loss in any way, is to really lose the gift of the opportunity."
This is just one of the many candid insights from Neeyah Lynn Rose Stephens, aBodyful Mind Educator, Nichiren Buddhist Practioner, Singer/Songwriter, and Personal Assistant for Conservation Photographer Robert Glenn Ketchum. Neeyah is also the daughter and caregiver to her 92 year-old mother,Annabelle, who has Alzheimer's. But unlike many families, Neeyah is blessed with a supportive and empathetic village who share the caregiving responsibilities.
Meet Neeyah, her mother, Annabelle, her brother, Charlie, and professional caregiver, Melody who openly share their evolving perspectives on being a caregiver that include gratitude, loving, healing, and what the experience represents to them. (You might want to have a tissue at the ready!)
