5 July "Disclosures and changing relationships"

Lisa Gwyther, Director, Duke Family Support Program. Talked about sharing the information about the diagnosis with those close to to you as the affected one, the importance of acknowledging the condition and accepting it. We discussed the emotions involved and the change of rolls. Talked about making adjustments as we go along. More about the caregiver than anything else, not easy shift in responsibilities. Talked about the importance of strengthening family ties, if possible.
