Daria

Today's story is told from the sibling perspective of the FTD journey and it's full of confusion, sorrow - but also sweet sisterly love. 
Today, we hear from Brianna, founder of Waverles, as she lovingly tells the story of her older sister, Daria.
Daria's progression was severe and swift, leaving a family in shock of what had just happened - and the complexity of the global pandemic on top of it all.
Daria - wife, mother, daughter - and incredible social worker of 17 years - touched so many lives in her short time on this earth.
