I’m reading an essay I originally posted October 31, 2024, to my Substack, titled “This is the Diane Project.” It’s been adapted for audio.
This Is The Diane Project
Why caregiving makes you interesting

The Diane Project
What if the person you loved more than anyone was permanently changed by dementia — and you became their caregiver? Your relationship would change. You would change too. I'm Aaron and I’m currently full-time caregiver for Diane, my wife of nearly 30 years, who is living with advanced Lewy body disease. I started The Diane Project to tell stories about our journey. Some stories are about the past, some are about the here and now.
