Thought of the Week: Courage to Try
Courage does not always roar.
Sometimes it is a quiet voice at the end of the day saying,
"I will try again tomorrow."

Welcome. About this Site.
This site was inspired by my Mom’s autoimmune dementia.
It is a place where we separate out the wheat from the chafe, the important articles & videos from each week’s river of news. Google gets a new post on Alzheimer’s or dementia every 7 minutes. That can overwhelm anyone looking for help. This site filters out, focuses on and offers only the best information. it has helped hundreds of thousands of people since it debuted in 2007. Thanks to our many subscribers for your supportive feedback.
The site is dedicated to all those preserving the dignity of the community of people living with dementia.

Don't forget them, because they would never forget us on purpose!
Visited mom yesterday and she is 88 years old now, she seemed to be less aware of people now I noticed, but she started to hum a song I remember growing up that she would sing to us as children. I thought that was so sweet she remembered that. So yes sometimes they don't remember us now but they remember us at an earlier time.
