FOR GREGORY. He was not a VICTIM of ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE, he was a HERO!

PLEASE NOTE: Even though this blog is now dormant there are many useful, insightful posts. Scroll back from the end or forward from the beginning. Also, check out my writer's blog. Periodically I will add posts here if they provide additional information about living well with Dementia / Alzheimer's Disease.

Nothing More Debilitating

You may have seen a post or two from Abraham on this BLOG. Finally one that speaks to Alzheimer's (although the subject is adult children) "Nothing more debilitating that to care about something you can't do anything about."

But in some ways you can do something about your loved one with Alzheimer's Disease. You can love them all the more, you can be there for them, you can continue to respect them as a person, you can support them, you can help keep them safe, you can provide them with an appropriate environment, you can augment those skills they loose.

You can live in their world although when first reading this it will make no sense until you experience it yourself and when the person you love is so far in the progression of the disease that living in their world makes sense, is obvious to you, and is really the only thing you have left to do. It took me most of ten years to learn how to live in Gregory's world.

There is really a lot you can do! You just can't change the insidious nature of the disease.
