Alzheimer’s Notes

Alzheimer’s Forms a Bond

by Mary Emma Allen on May 30th, 2006

I’ve discovered that Alzheimer’s forms a bond among people who have very little else in common.  They are reaching out to others who will understand or encourage, whether they’re the patient, family member, or caregiver.

When others learn I was caregiver for my mom and helped with my aunt, they seem almost to grasp my hand and ask, “How did you do it?  How did you accept it?  What did you do about…..or……?”

This led me to writing and speaking about Alzheimer’s disease to share my mom’s, aunt’s, and my family’s experiences in hopes of encouraging others.  I find so many people in this country and others, who are coping with some form of dementia in a family member.

This common bond of interest brings people closer together as they help one another and seek way to find a cure for this disease.
