Get acquainted with us:

Welcome to my website - a website I started in July 07, when the shock of what Alzheimer's Disease was doing to a decades long loving marriage had me in emotional turmoil. You have come to a place of comfort for spouses who are trying to cope with the Alzheimer's/dementia of their husband/wife. The issues we face in dealing with a spouse with this disease are so different from the issues faced by children and grandchildren caregivers. We discuss all of those issues here - loss of intimacy; social contact; conversation; anger; resentment; stress; and pain of living with the stranger that Alzheimer's Disease has put in place of our beloved spouse.

Please be sure to log onto the home page - www.thealzheimerspouse.com - and read all of the resources on the left side. I recommend starting with "Newly Diagnosed/New Member" and "Understanding the Dementia Experience". There are 4 sections for EOAD members - two of which focus on the young teens whose parents have EOAD (early onset AD).

There is a great section on informative videos. Do not miss the Previous Blogs" section. It is there you will find a huge array of topics with which you can relate.Start with the Welcome Blog - What happens when Alzheimer's Disease turns your loving partner into a stranger? Log onto the home page daily for new blogs; news updates; important information.

The Message Boards are filled with spouses just like you and me who are sharing their experiences and supporting one another through this Alzheimer journey.

Welcome to all - I hope you will visit often and get the support and information you are looking for.
