So many questions... very limited answers
The hardest part for me is that there is no black and white answers. This disease has no timeline... the disease leaves no dignity.... the disease leaves you saying "I don't know".
I am with you on this one. When we were raising our children, there were so many books on parenting and a boatload of knowledge and help with child raising. Caring for those with this disease feels like such a hit and miss. I am thankful for alzheimersdisease.net as we build that base of knowledge and information for our community. Thank you for sharing.

, I remember being in the place Scott mentioned, and I devoured every single book I could because I wanted to be the best mom I could be. My boys are both neurodiverse and they could not be found in the confines of any of the books I had collected.
The best we can do is to write our own, even if it is only in our hearts. Just be open and listen to our loved ones, what they say, and what they don't say. and find our own way through. Please know we'll be there to share the walk with you. -Warmly, Donna (Team Member)Going through this with my husband is the most difficult thing we have dealt with in our almost 40-year relationship. We have raised kids and helped with 9 grandkids. That all seems like a piece of cake in comparison. It is confusing and heartbreaking. But I will keep him home, if possible.
