Supporting our loved ones who have #dementia means accepting that they may not remember our efforts. But we must remember that we tried our best, even when our best was less than we wished and less than was needed. (image via @Rammohan_M_Rai) #Alzheimers #mentalhealth #quote

We discuss the gifts bestowed when we plan for end-of-life needs, surviving life in the middle of the caregiver sandwich, and the bittersweet decisions that must be made when juggling care for ill or aging parents and raising kids. #Alzheimers #dementia youtu.be/vSbDZV0VZhc
