God, Mom, Alzheimer's, and Me ©

A note from Linda:

My mother was diagnosed with dementia of the Alzheimer type in April of 2004, and I became her caregiver. Throughout the adventures that followed, we have found to our blessing that God’s grace truly is sufficient for every need.  If someone you love suffers from dementia, this site is dedicated to you with love and a prayer that you will be encouraged and blessed.  My mother and I offer to you these vignettes from our lives with a prayer that you will share the encouragement and hope that we have received from our blessed Lord.

Caregiving Challenges

After the need for respite care is understood and even when legal and financial aspects of caregiving have been addressed, caregivers must contend with the emotional and spiritual burdens that remain. 

The purpose of this site is to provide Christ centered and Holy Spirit directed guidance for the turmoil of grief, resentment, guilt, and joy that weave together to form the fabric of a caregiver’s days.
