What if dementia didn’t mean the end of connection…but the beginning of something deeper?
Caregiving for a loved one with dementia can feel like wandering through fog: uncertain, exhausting, and emotionally overwhelming.
This can be a lonely path when you’re trying to figure it out on your own. Each step felt like a lesson I didn’t ask for, but had to learn. I know that ache. And I also know—there is a way through.
But in the middle of confusion, there is still room for laughter, light, and love—if you know how to look.
The Game That Changed Everything
When her mother was diagnosed with dementia, Glenna didn’t ease into caregiving—she was launched into it. She searched everywhere—books, certifications, support groups—but nothing showed her how to truly relate as her mom changed, became frightened, or drifted further away.
Until a simple, unexpected question unlocked a lifetime of stories… and transformed their final years together. This is the story of the How Old Are You Today? game that turned heartbreak into moments of hope, joy, and true love.
What You'll Discover
This isn’t a manual. It’s a love story.
A story that might just change how you walk this path—with someone you love, and with yourself.
And because this journey is bigger than just me and my mom, I’m donating 30% of all gross profits to dementia and Alzheimer’s research. This isn’t just a book. It’s part of the fight.
