Helping caregivers of people with dementia; identifying, reacting to, and planning for our aging parents (and ourselves) with a little humor thrown in.
Welcome to my little online journal
I encourage you to read, enjoy, laugh, identify, ask questions, suggest topics, and share your personal anecdotes and comments.

Marguerite, this must be very cathargic to write this out.....Geri's Mom passed away 2 years ago
and the last 5 she had dementia....I identify with your mother talking of her mother....since geri's Mom (Eileen) began talking about her mother 10 years before symptoms appeared.....and yet could not remember having had 4 children of her own....as if she was only a child....I will check back on this site....and extend my support
for your journey with you Mom....I know it is very painful....and yet sometimes humorous....Chris
