Our Host, Lori La Bey talks with Lily Morales whose mother has what the doctors believe is Vascular Dementia. Lily is 28-years-old and has been caring for her mother for the last 8 years. She has found that the topic of dementia at her age is taboo with others her age; and she wants to change that by sharing her story. Lily would love to see a cure or a therapy to reverse symptoms so people could retain or reverse cognitive decline to live as independently as possible. Tuesday we will hear their story.

Sky Yardley & Jane Dwinell were together for 36 years. They raised two children, for many years had a small farm, and retired in their fifties to travel and do volunteer work. They both had successful careers—Sky as a family mediator, and Jane as an RN, freelance writer, and Unitarian Universalist minister. In 1992, Jane authored Birth Stories: Mystery, Power and Creation. As an avocation together they designed and built seven houses and renovated two others.
Sky was diagnosed with “probable early stage Alzheimer’s disease” in the summer of 2016. He had been showing signs of memory loss since 2012, most significantly since 2015. He was 66 when he was diagnosed. Jane was 62. Sky died in 2021, after chronicling with Jane his five-year decline from this fatal disease, the sixth-leading cause of death in the US.
