FACING THE WIND is the story of two women, whose lives are irrevocably changed by their husbands’ diagnosis with Lewy body dementia. Faced with isolation and confusion about the disease, Linda Szypula helps start a unique online support community for those with the disease—and for their caregivers. There she meets Carla Preyer and they bond deeply over their shared challenges and their dark humor. Their friendship and their extraordinary support group help them give their husbands loving care, cope with their grief, and emerge whole on the other side.
