Category: Forgetting to Remember

Aging not only steals our youth and often our health, it often steals our memories, as well as our joy. For those of us whose loved ones are going through the agony of memory loss, whether dementia or its big brother Alzheimer’s, this can become one of the most devastating events in your or your loved ones’ life. Over the next several months, we will present real life stories of loved ones going through this, and how their families dealt with it. May our thoughts and writings bring a bit of comfort and hope to you and your family. You are not alone.
