Our Host, Lori La Bey will be talking with our guest Christiana Egi who has been driven to be a care partner through her life roles as a mother, grandmother, Registered Nurse, Diabetic Educator, Registered Natural Health Nutritionist, Geriatric and Mental Health Specialist. She is also the Author of A Rose For Grandma.

She has spent 10 years of her 34-year career in nursing working in the crisis unit of Canada’s largest Psychiatric Hospital. For the last 22 years, she has worked as the owner and operator of Alexis Lodge Retirement Facilities in Toronto, Canada, a business she started with her late husband Anthony, to impact the lives individuals with Alzheimer’s disease and other types of dementia.  The Alexis Lodge is focused on putting the individuals first and giving them a place to call home. This is a place where people are treated with love, respect, and dignity when they can no longer be cared for at home by their loved ones.

Christiana is a woman of faith. She uses her belief as a guide to help others see the little things in life to be thankful for. She has a daily goal of putting a smile on someone’s face helps the world go around more positively. They apply this belief when caring for those with Alzheimer’s and other types of dementia.

Christiana has always said love and respect are the cornerstones of caring for an individual and I couldn’t agree with her more. She is determined to help eradicate the stigma around Dementia and Mental Illness during her lifetime.

I Can’t Believe My Mom’s Been Gone 8 years Today

Looking back on the 30 year journey with my Mother and her dementia; and the past 8 years since she been gone, still take my breath away. The blessings. The loss. The love. The grief. The feelings never go away. They just twist and turn in my heart and mind. Below are some thoughts I wrote years ago, but I feel they still apply today.

Will you be the next to forget or the next to be forgotten?

When we ask ourselves this question it is typical to get this ping in your head, your heart, and your stomach that says “WOW, I could be next!  How do I want to be treated?”  It is from this angle of fear we can start talking honestly to educate others what the true face of Alzheimer’s disease is.  What it takes away from us, but also what is has to offer each of us.

I am a believer there can be no good if there is no bad.  You can’t feel happy if you don’t experience sad…  Disease offers the same platform of balance if we chose to look for it and utilize it.

For me, as difficult as it was to lose my Mother, piece by piece over the years, I have found she has taught me much through her disease that has had an extremely positive effect on my life.

Dementia taught me many things.  Here are just a few:

To slow down my pace in life.

To appreciate the simple pleasures I often didn’t see because I was moving too fast or waiting in anticipation for the “BIG THINGS.”

To communicate on a more intimate level.

To train my brain to be aware of my senses, at a higher level.

To not take life so seriously.

To stop trying to control everything and everybody in my life.

To have a deeper and stronger faith then I ever thought was imaginable.

To love unconditionally.

To recognize what brings me joy and to incorporate it in my life.

To remove judgment of others and myself.

That I am stronger then I knew I was.

That done is better than perfect.

That life is so much easier if I keep my sense of humor and can laugh through it.

The one thing that changed my life the most

I’ve learned each time I am given a painful or uncomfortable situation is my life there is a powerful lesson buried in the situation which will ease my life in the future, if I choose to remember it and be guided by it.

I think it is time we start to acknowledge our pain and discomfort with things in our life, like Alzheimer’s disease.  We need to stop living the ‘Stepford Wives” life trying to project the “Leave it Beaver” family as we try to keep up with “The Jones.”   It’s time to be honest with what is going on in our lives.  Once we do this we can ask for help from our friends and family, through organizations, and through prayer.  After we do this we must be silent and listen for the answers.  It is then up to us to decide if we are going to take action by the answers given us, knowing we are the only ones that can change us.  We cannot change others.  It is time to step out and step up; and lead by example.

Mom I don’t think the void you left in my heart will ever by filled, but I’m so thankful I was your daughter and able to love you so deeply. I will forever be thankful for your unconditional love and all you taught me.

BrainGuide Helps Finds Memory Issues Before a Diagnosis

Tuesday – Aug. 3rd 2021 – 2pm EDT, 1pm CDT, 12pm MDT, 11am PDT & 7pm London BST, 8pm South Africa SAST, and on the 23rd at 4am in Australia AEST

Listen to the Interview Below

Lori La Bey hosts of Alzheimer’s Speaks Radio talks with Brooks Kenny the Executive Director of the Women’s Network at UsAgainstAlzheimer’s.  She is also the General Manager for BrainGuide.  This program is UsAgainstAlzheimer’s newest initiative focusing on bringing state-of-the-art technology to consumers across the country that are worried about their or a loved one’s brain health.

BrainGuide by UsAgainstAlzheimer’s is a first-of-its-kind platform that empowers people with knowledge and
resources to take the best next steps in managing their own or a loved one’s brain health.

BrainGuide can help whether you’re interested in protecting your brain health, you’ve been diagnosed with mild
cognitive impairment (MCI) or Alzheimer’s, or you’re concerned about a family member.

BrainGuide begins with an automated, confidential self-administered memory questionnaire, developed with input
from memory experts, that can be taken on behalf of yourself or someone you care about. Once you complete the
questionnaire, BrainGuide offers tailored education and resources to help you find the best next steps in your or a
loved one’s brain health journey. BrainGuide does not provide a diagnosis.

UsAgainstAlzheimer’s worked in close collaboration with medical, technology, and industry experts to innovate and
carefully create BrainGuide. BrainGuide was developed with in-kind and financial support from Biogen. The platform
runs on Amazon Web Services (AWS), using state-of-the-art technologies to power the memory questionnaire
capability and make it available to anyone with a telephone or internet access. BrainGuide is part of the long-term
commitment from UsAgainstAlzheimer’s to ensuring that no one is lost to Alzheimer’s disease.

Alzheimer’s Speaks is pleased to share this new platform and its important work. We encourage you to take the
first step in acting on your brain health today by visiting MyBrainGuide.org or calling 855-BRAIN-411.

Brooks Kenny has spent her career applying marketing and business know-how to social causes and has become a national speaker on women’s brain health, Alzheimer’s disease and caregiving.
