About Us
When Brenda Brophy brought her mother home from the hospital a few years ago, she had no idea she'd be spending the rest of her life with her.
Dorothy Finnerty, now 101, had Alzheimer's, and Brophy was there to tell her story in a podcast called "Beautiful Morning."
But "it also lays bare the emotional challenges Brophy has to deal with when her mother becomes lost in the 1950s, long before her daughter was born," reports the Victoria Times-Colonist.
The podcast is part of a larger project by the University of Victoria's School of Nursing called Call to Mind: Audio Stories of Love and Memory Loss.
It's a series of 30-minute podcasts that feature stories of love and memory loss from people living with dementia and their care partners.
The goal of the project is to study the value and impacts of recording sharing personal audio diaries, with sharing and storytelling sessions for a 12-week period.
Participants in the research project, who can include someone with dementia or a care partner of someone living with dementia, be part of a small, online support group to share caregiving.
The program aims to study the value and impacts of recording sharing personal audio diaries, with sharing and storytelling sessions for a 12-week period.
