Welcome to Minding After! My name is Melissa and I am a Nurse Practitioner in neurology and a former caregiver for my aunt with young onset dementia. Despite being a neurology NP, I was not prepared for this journey. It was full of surprises, frustrations, and even loneliness. You need help preparing too. Don't reinvent the wheel. Let me be your guiding light and biggest supporter as you take on this responsibility. We will grow your confidence, practice self-care, and keep your loved one safe by covering topics such as what to expect at medical visits, how to organize finances, and learn about end-of-life issues. Plus, I welcome your questions and concerns that I will share in each episode. I can't wait to journey with you! Please visit my website to learn more about my story, my services, and my resources to help you be a caregiver hero. www.mindingafter.com
