Lets Tackel ALZHEIMER'S forever!!!
WHY am I so passionate about this...well my Grandmother suffered and eventually passed because of Alzheimer's. I couldn't imagine how she felt during ANY of that time. For me, it was stressful and hurtful seeing her struggle/suffer (losing herself more and more each passing day) but it was just as painful seeing how it impacted my family - Grandfather, Mother, Aunts Cousins. Not knowing how to help any of them really left me feeling LOST. We all had these mixed emotions running through our minds for months during every second of every day trying to soak in every GOOD MOMENT we had left with her; knowing there were many left to come.
