Alzheimer's Disease | Alzheimers

Dear friend,
When he was officially diagnosed at age sixty-seven, IT BROKE OUR
HEARTS.
We had no idea what Alzheimer's disease really was... what the
future held for him... or how it would affect his life (or ours).
We immediately began to ask questions like...
*
How much time did we have before Alzheimer's would drastically
impact and change his life?
*
How long would it be before he forget who we were? Would he still be
able to live on his own... or need full-time care?
*
Was he going to die earlier than normal because of the Alzheimer's?
*
... and on and on ...
"We Didn't Know Where To
Turn For Help or Guidance!"
These were just some of the questions we simply didn't know the
answers to. We were overwhelmed with despair, sadness and a crushing
fear of the unknown.
Unfortunately, we did some things wrong with Grampa because we
simply didn't know any better.
I confess it was a struggle and there were so many times when the
family thought we couldn't go on.
BUT... WHAT I WANT TO GET ACROSS TO YOU TODAY, IF NOTHING ELSE, IS
THIS...
That's NOT The Way
It Has To Be!
If you think you're powerless against Alzheimer's, I have some
great news for you... You're wrong!
I want to help you because I don't want you to continue going
through what our family went through on a daily basis for so many
years.
I know what it's like to deal with the Alzheimer's problem on all
levels
