It has been over a year that I have been writing blogs on Alzheimer’s disease.  I have covered many topics over these months.  However, none are quite as personal as discussing the ins and outs related to holidays with family members.  For each of us this is a very personal time.  We all deal with the pleasures and pains of the holidays in our own way.  For those of us with elders in the family, especially elders with Alzheimer’s disease, we have much to give thanks for during this special season, but we also have much to deal with in trying to make it a special season for all. 

 

As we all give thanks in our own way, I hope each of you have a happy holiday, and I thank you for allowing me to continue to communicate with you about this very important topic.
