My mother was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s at 68. Over the next five years, we watched her memories fade, but her gentle spirit remained. We learned to communicate in new ways, celebrate small moments of clarity, and support each other as caregivers. Her passing was peaceful, and we honor her by raising awareness about dementia.
