Living with Alzheimer’s – remember that…

  1. The diagnosis doesn’t mean you are dying. Keep living.
  2. You won’t lose your emotional memory. You’ll still be capable of understanding love and joy. You might not remember what I said five minutes ago, or even who I am, but you’ll remember how I made you feel.
  3. You are more than what you can remember.

People do not consist of memory alone. They have feelings, will, sensibility, moral being. It is here you may touch them and see profound changes.
