Really grateful to see this video. I am offering deep appreciation to Greg O’Brien for his honesty, his courage, and his willingness to be vulnerable in the face of such a difficult situation.
I passed on the video to a client who is worried about his partner. While doing so I remembered a friend I went to social work school who I hadn’t seen for years. When I ran into her one day she didn’t recognize me and explained it by telling me she had early onset Alzheimers. She and her husband had gotten married a couple years before this happened. My heart went out to him, to her and to all of us.
