Wine, Women, and Dementia

Lickety Glitz authored the blog StumpedTownDementia.com during the 5 years she cared for her mother with dementia. When her mother moved on to annoying the crap out of the afterlife, Ms. Glitz decided to use her new found freedom to road trip the U.S., swapping dementia family caregiver stories of love, humor, devotion, and death, in-person with caregiver friends who had virtually shared this hilariously heartbreaking end-of-life journey.

The feature documentary Wine, Women, and Dementia is the story of dementia life as experienced by the family members who care for their dementia loved ones. Through intimate, humorous, heartfelt conversations we explore what it means to be a dementia family caregiver; the hilarity, the horror, the devotion that keeps us going. Virtual friends meet for the first time to share the challenges, solutions, and flat out fuck-ups we experienced as dementia family caregivers.

And we drink wine. Lots and lots of wine.

Wine, Women, and Dementia: The Documentary - because when the journey is tough, tough, tough, it's still doable with a little help and humor from your friends.

The Gloria, most affectionately named after my mother who creaked, rattled, smelled kinda funny in the back, and rarely did what we asked her to.
