Thanks Carol for another teriffic post. I am anxious to share your post with some family and friends (not members of our community here), but who have recenlty been through hospice experinces as well as grief and potential loss ( we are still very much in prayer-mode!).

Take Care and All the Best, sue moderator
Some members may be interested in books that focus on Alzheimer's Disease and dementia. Or maybe you'd be willinging to recommend something you have read to the others in our community. Please post a comment here or create your own sharepost.
Prayer mode is a good mode to be in. Same Oliver's books could, indeed help your family. Blessings, Sue, as you travel this tough journey.
