Show Notes
Mark Honold didn’t plan to take on another job in retirement, but after his teaching career ended, a more challenging chapter began when his wife was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. He talks to Myles Dannhausen Jr. about the difficult journey of navigating the disease, watching his wife’s decline and navigating a maze to find resources and assistance. He also discusses what he’d do differently if he could go back to the beginning, and how he was able to gain the perspective to get help before tthe burden of caregiving took an irriversable toll on him.
