Alzheimer’s Stories That Make a Difference
When I write about my experiences with Mother and Auntie (our “journey through Alzheimer’s”), I hope the legacy of love and caregiving and family will make a difference with others who are going through these experiences or have been there. If I can make others understand it wasn’t all a discouraging experience and that I learned from these ladies, then their lives will have meaning for so many other people.
They were caring ladies, who made a difference in the lives of family and friends. After their deaths, as various people contacted me, I realized just how much they meant to folks I’d never met.
When I wrote I Remember When…An Alzheimer’s Journey the other day, I was recalling both sad and happy times, even humorous times, that have become part of my memories and the legacy Mother left.
I’ve received a number of comments regarding this article and am pleased to know it’s encouraged others. Also, Elizabeth mentioned it on her GenBetween blog in Alzheimer’s Journey. Hers is a great site to visit because many of the caregivers who read Alzheimer’s Notes probably belong to that sandwiched generation or generation between.
