We all know the talented actress, Kimberly Williams Paisley, mostly from her fresh-faced, “all-American girl” role in the Father of the Bride movies. We also know her as the lucky real-life bride to country crooner and music star, Brad Paisley.

But it wasn’t until 2016 when Kim wrote her poignant memoir about becoming a dementia caregiver for her mother that we added her to the growing list of Sandwich Generation caregivers.

Our CEO, Sherri Snelling, interviewed Kim about her book, Where the Light Gets In – Losing My Mother Only to Find Her Again, that describes her challenges with a mom diagnosed with primary progressive aphasia, a type of dementia. Kim tells Sherri about creating the care team around her mom with her father, sister and brother, her guilt trip and how she traveled that road that all caregivers know so well and how her loving husband used a combination of hugs and humor to keep his wife’s spirits lifted even on those darkest days.
