About me

Author With the Less Fattening Centres

While juggling her career and raising three children, Susan took on the role of primary caregiver for her mother, who was battling dementia. Through the many challenges and hard-won lessons of caregiving, she discovered the value of connecting with other caregivers – listening, sharing experiences, and supporting one another – to balance the needs of caring for a loved one while managing work, family and preserving her own self-being

Thursdays With Mom: Learning, Laughing, and Loving as a Caregiver

Thursdays With Mom is a tender, true collection of short stories from the years the author spent as primary caregiver for her mother in her 80s, as dementia slowly changed the woman they all loved. Through funny, bittersweet, and honest vignettes—from grocery runs and Starbucks treats to holiday mishaps and “happy hour” Manhattans—the book captures a vibrant mom whose big heart, humor, and stubborn independence shine through even as memory fades. Each chapter closes with a “Lesson Learned,” offering gentle, hard‑won insights on patience, perspective, and choosing to see the goodness in circumstances we cannot control.

I just finished reading your book! What a joy, filled with perspective on life. As a caregiver, it’s a great reminder to go with the flow and laugh as much as you can.

This book is Awesome!… It’s so emotional – and so endearing at the same time. I laughed, and even teared up once. II really like the “Lesson Learned” portion after each post/story. I truly believe that can be beneficial to anyone having to care for an elderly parent.

I just finished reading your heartwarming book! It explains the ups and downs of caring for a loved one with dementia.I brought back memories of having our father living with us for 3 years.It sure does open your eyes, and makes you aware of what is important in life! We learned how important it was to have a good sense of humor and, like you, to help him keep his dignity.
