To Walk in Another's Shoes...

Nightline aired this story the other night. It's only 5 minutes and a real eye opener. Can we really imagine what it is like to have Alzheimer's? This exercise goes a long way towards that end. Caregiver empathy is deeply sharing another's experience and this video shows how to walk in another's shoes so that empathy can grow.
It also gives a little glimpse into the lives of the caregivers and we need to all develope empathy for their situation as well and this video is a great first step.
