Alzheimer’s can take a lot from you causing you to feel out of control. But being prepared, financially and legally, can help you gain back some control.

Alzheimer’s can make you feel like there is nothing to celebrate, it can be a dark and depressing journey. But today, I choose to be happy, to celebrate one of the best men I have ever known and to remember all the fun, laughter and lessons he taught me.

An Alzheimer’s diagnosis is heavy, causing feelings of anger and frustration. Yet even in the midst of heartache we can find unexpected strength and compassion, learning to laugh through tears and hold on to hope and find light in the darkness.
