The Trouble with Alzheimer

I wrote a month ago that my mother had dementia. She and I both have been trying to cope with this disease, and it has been heartbreaking for me to watch my smart, sweet mother lose her memory.  Both my sister and I try to help her. We spend as much time as possible with her.  She had a bad episode last week. Today she doesn’t remember that night, but I do. The memory is so fresh like it happened today. I keep hoping someone will find a cure to stop this disease, and my mother will be able to hold on to some of her dignity.
