Thank you for your hard work on sharing my mother’s journey. It has been a challenge to adjust to her absence but I hope reading her story helps others understand the complexity of dementia and how important it is to support our loved ones the way they want to be supported (which isn’t necessarily the way we would want to be supported)!

Hi Lindsey! Thank YOU for sharing your story with me and our subscribers. I really appreciate it. You are absolutely right...dementia is very complex, and it takes time to understand what works best for our loved ones to provide them as much comfort, safety, and security as possible while they...bit by bit, lose their independence. I'm so glad we collaborated. Thanks again, and I wish you and your family all the best!! Love, Jackie
