If this were to be your only column incorporated into medical school and nursing school curriculums, it would become a teaching tool of immense value in enlightening future health care providers about the many dimensions of dementia…and the impact on caregivers. Everything you write about will never be found in a textbook, but hopefully someday you will publish a book about your journey with Bella.

In the meantime, you are providing insightful guidance to your Front Page readers who are in the different stages of caring for a parent, spouse or other loved one in the here-and-now…and providing solace to those who have done all that they could, for as long as they could, with or without the support of homecare resources. Nothing ever feels like it’s “enough” when caring for anyone with a terminal illness, but Alzheimer’s robs us of the capacity to use words to understand and comfort one another in the later stages.

Praying for your strength and endurance to continue your holy work…🙏

I know you are not looking for this but in the world of service, you are a shining example of what it looks like.
