June marks Alzheimer’s and Brain Awareness Month, a time to shine a light on the millions of individuals and families affected by Alzheimer’s disease. We recognize that memory loss doesn’t just impact the individual; it touches every member of the family.
Watching a loved one change due to dementia is one of the most emotionally complex journeys a family can face. It’s easy to focus on what’s been lost, memories, independence, or connection.
Communicating with someone who has dementia can feel challenging, especially as the condition progresses. Memory loss, confusion, and difficulty finding words can make conversations frustrating for both the individual and their loved ones.
Dementia is a progressive condition that affects memory, thinking, and behavior, gradually interfering with daily life. While it is most commonly associated with aging, it is not a normal part of growing older.
