This blog is about life with my husband who was diagnosed with Early Onset Alzheimer's and Frontal Lobe Dementia in 2008. He was 64 at the time although now, knowing more about the disease, Alzheimer's was present many, many years ago, which is why early detection is so important. As you read the blog the character "Al" that I created in 2008, represents the way that Alzheimer's is invading our daily lives.
There is an archive tab further down the page that starts from the beginning of our journey.

Sheri knows she is suffering from depression and anxiety. She takes medication for this and wants others that are struggling to know it is ok to talk about it. She has been attending a grief counseling group, (well at least when the frozen tundra has been safe enough to go out in lol) She wakes up every morning and puts one foot in front of the other …. just like so many other people in the world, all for different reasons.She had surgery last week, and in her week recovery time at home she spent too much time watching headlines of the news. Sheri had to remind herself over and over that God is in control. She has turned the TV off .. she is determined to survive the aftermath of caregiving. She is going to refocus on living one day at a time and doing her best to live in Gods Word, the Comforter of all stress, depression and anxiety.
Sheri needs to Pause, Praise and Pray.

    I pray for full recovery after the operation. Yes, I, and many others, wake up every morning and only have the strength to do the one thing we have to do at the time. And we do it. And keep doing it. Because we know that we are not alone on this journey. Because Emmanuel. Because of other people who encourage us (like you do with your words).
    Thank you.

    Dear Sheri,
    I hope you are feeling better and recovering well from the operation. Just wanted to let you know that you are in my thoughts and prayers.

    "You will surely forget your trouble,
    recalling it only as waters gone by.
    Life will be brighter than noonday, and darkness will become like morning.
    You will be secure, because there is hope; you will look about you and take your rest in safety." Job 11:16-18
