Opportunities for Grace
Fear
We all live with some level of fear. When facing a brain disease that slowly steals treasured memories and ultimately life, moving on may seem impossible.
Hope
Hope is ever present among dementia care partners because human nature drives us to hang onto hope in the face of endless adversity.
