Alzheimer's Disease, and the broader category of symptoms known as dementia, are such a challenge to cope with.

 

This is a wonderful reminder for caregivers and family members struggling with a loved one with Alzheimers. I thought it very worth sharing

10 Requests From An Alzheimer's Patient

 

Please be patient with me.
I am the helpless victim of a brain disease.

Talk to me.
Even though I cannot always answer.

Be kind to me.
Each day of my life is a desperate struggle.

Consider my feelings.
They are still very much alive within me.

Treat me with dignity and respect.
As I would have gladly treated you.

Remember my past.
For I was once a healthy vibrant person.

Remember my present.
For I am still living.

Remember my future.
Though it may seem bleak to you.

Pray for me.
For I am a person who lingers in the mists of time and eternity.

Love me.
And the gifts of love you give will be a blessing forever.....

Well certainly a number of us may confront this with family members, or it might even become an issue we have to deal with personally. I thought these were important points to keep in mind

Jeff, I missed Elyse's post, and so meaningful!  I was planning to stop in to see my previous boss as he is in a memory center, and always tells me thank you for seeing him.

This breaks my heart. A dear friend was diagnosed with dementia, and she knows and understands what that means: it won't go away, although she hopes it will progress slowly. It's also tough for the near and dear to watch this happen and there is noting we can do except your list here.
