Alzheimer’s: Go ahead and fight!

Are you going to let a person who has no business driving anymore, because of the effects of Alzheimer’s or dementia, continue driving so YOU can avoid an argument?

Then I want to you to imagine YOUR beautiful child or grandchild riding in that car with that person when they become confused at the wheel or are not paying attention.

The fight will easily fade. The horrors of an accident will not.

Go ahead and have that long overdue confrontation if necessary. Just make sure every word is fueled with compassion because your heart and life will be better for it.

You WILL survive that hard moment.

And so will everyone you love.
