Margie's Tribute to Her Mother with Alzheimer's Disease

A while back, a reader wrote to me about the loss of her mother. I asked her if  she would be willing to share her journey of watching her mother battle dementia, and she said she would. Her hope was two-fold: one, that by reading her story, others would know that they weren't alone and they wouldn't despair in the depths of the disease. Her other motivation was simply- she also wanted to tell others how much she loved her mother, and that she missed her. In light of Mother's Day, here's her three-part story: Alzheimer's from a Daughter's View: Part 1 Alzheimer's from a Daughter's View: Part 2 Alzheimer's from a Daughter's View: Part 3 Related Reading Role Reversal: When You Have to Parent Your Parent Adult Children: How to Have "The Talk" with Your Parents In Sickness and in Health: Caring for a Spouse with DementiaMargie's Tribute to Her Mother with Alzheimer's Disease originally appeared on About.com Alzheimers Disease on Saturday, May 10th, 2014 at 22:27:44.Permalink | Comment | Email this
