Description

This episode shows the extraordinary love of a son for his mother with dementia. Host Mary Anne Oglesby-Sutherly's part of this story was in previous episode 25. This is a heart-felt perspective and cry from that son, Anthony Facello  Being a caregiver for a parent is never easy, especially if you are younger and thrown into a broken system that makes no sense in treating those with dementia. It’s taken a few months for Anthony to share his journey but if your loved one has dementia, you will definitely relate and benefit from his story of redemption for his "mama", as Anthony so affectionately calls her. That unseen hand of miracles guided Anthony through Mary Anne and a nun from Oklahoma, to a basement hospice full of compassion and mercy called "The Heart of Mary House" in Nashville, TN. www.theverandaministries.org
