I read an article from Time today, something is really striking, a woman who has a high degree sent a message to people with Alzheimer: be gentle with yourself.
This disease requires that you lower your expectations of yourself. That's a hard thing for most of us to do. The fear is losing yourself, knowing that you won't bring this self to the end stage of your life. So I look to build my spirit. I believe in a loving God, and when I'm afraid or down or angry or frustrated, I go outside, whatever the weather, and I pray, "Teach me to be gentle with myself."
