Alzheimer's: It's your choice

Why did I write a book on Alzheimer's? Because families and caregivers are always looking for unconditional comfort and support. They need frequent reminders that they're not alone and have not been abandoned.

Coping with a loved one's Alzheimer's can be one of life's toughest, yet most rewarding challenges. It's all up to you how you face this uninvited intruder.

You can close your eyes and deny it, like a lot of people try to do.

You can walk away and let somebody else take care of "it."

You can take a deep breath and decide to learn everything you can and educate the rest of the family and world.

You can fall in love with this individual all over again … every day.

It's your choice. If you're willing to listen and learn, drop me a line. If not, just keep on surfing!
