Dementia Can Be Haunting, Too!

With Halloween here, I have discovered something new about my current condition. I think by writing about this, I may be able to help caregivers as well as others suffering with dementia/Alzheimer's to know they are not alone with these problems. My husband and I were lounging in bed, doing what all sleep experts say not to do - watching... Read moreChevron
