[Lekooks] Real talk dementia care

[Paula Hillmann]

I highly recommend the book *The Sudden Caregiver: A Roadmap for Resilient
Caregiving* (2021) by Karen Warner Schueler. Everyone's story is different
of course. But I like the way she provides practical suggestions for
developing your own pathway.
Best wishes,
- Paula
