"it changes every minute." I don't know if I've heard it put that way before, but it's definitely true

It's part of the difficult emotional roller coaster ride; it takes practice to learn how to stay grounded even with all the twists and turns.  Practice and awareness helped me, but it never gets easy.

Very moving Judith I lost my Grandmother last year and she had a form of alzheimers which would be mini strokes that would attack the cells of her brain. I can relate to what you spoke about the humour and laughter still being there as my gran would have funny little quirks but it was hard to hold back the tears sometimes after having lost someone we loved so dearly and then to lose that person in the physical sense too. I thank my stars she had a good life :)

This made me cry. What a lovely way to honor her husband.

What a gift you're offering to everyone who has experienced the ravages of Alzheimer's. Since words alone cannot describe the love and the loss, your photographs show both in such a profound way. Your art pierces through this disease, done with such honesty and love and caring. Thank you for lifting the stigma associated with Alzheimer's, and showing your own survival of this devastating disease.
