After her husband died of Alzheimer’s in 2011, Rosalys Peel put her skills as an educator to the test and eventually decided to write the book
Mike & Me about the journey she and Mike took through his illness. In subsequent years, Rosalys has been sharing the book, lecturing about her experience, and helping other families who are coping with dementia.
We’re going to talk about what that journey after publishing the book has been like. Now self-employed, juggling schedules, adjusting to a changed life without Mike, and more. We’ll discuss new insights Rosalys has gained about Alzheimer’s, what she’s learned about herself, and about life.
Rosalys Peel was born and raised in Nevada, has been a respected voice in the childbirth education movement for over 40 years. She is a Registered Nurse, graduate of the University of Washington, and certificated by Lamaze International and the Relationship Research Institute. She taught parent education classes at Swedish Medical Center in Seattle for over 30 years.
