About This Episode

Lewy Body Dementia, the second most progressive form of dementia impacting one million people in the US, is often confused with Alzheimer’s disease. In part 2 of BrainStorm’s interview with Mary Lou Falcone, author of “I Didn’t See It Coming: Scenes of Love, Loss and Lewy Body Dementia” she describes her very personal journey with her husband Nicky Zann, famed musician and painter. She reflects with host Meryl Comer what prepared her for her caregiving role, and both candidly offers advice to other caregivers on intimate issues that rarely get discussed. You won’t want to miss it!
