Without faith, I could not carry on in a helpful way.
I know what you mean. My strength is renewed day by day. I try not to get too far ahead of myself and let a new day give me a new lease on caregiving. Blessings, Kathy M team member.

Faith in God, and knowing he has a plan for me, is what helps me through each day.
Alzheimer’s patient, BeckyThis helps me as well. I often ask myself what important lessons am I learning in this? How can I help others who are facing challenges? Scott AlzheimersDisease.net Team Member
Truly, I hope my story helps others just like theirs does me. I wish this disease on no one, but there is solace knowing that I am not alone. I know that God is with me everyday, in struggles and laughter. I am finding that sometimes I just have to laugh at myself instead of taking this so serious.
I really appreciate how you are handling this and your amazing attitude. I think it helps both other patients and caregivers as well. You are not alone and are an inspiration. thank you. Scott AlzheimersDisease.net Team Member
