I just wanted to pass this short documentary on to you all. My mom didn't have LBD/Parkinsons but I still related to Kevin and his wife Marie and how they are experiencing Kevin's disease.

If you got 18 minutes give it a go!

    Thank you for posting. My Mom has LBD, I moved her into my home, and I'm trying to understand it so I can care for her. My Mom's mobility is very limited (she uses a walker), but seeing some of the scenes really hit home for me. The closet clothes all over is something that my Mom does. She also spends many nights wandering around the house.

    Oh cool, Gwendolyn, I'm glad you found the doc helpful. For me, both reading and seeing other caregivers experiences made me feel like my mom, and our household, wasn't doing as bad as I thought.
