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.

Living without Bob and "Al"

Sheri is realizing that she has trouble making conversation. Her small talk always revolved around Bob and "Al". She knows nothing really about current events, sports, or politics. It is like she needs a class on how to live life.
Sheri needs to pause, praise and pray.

Living with Bob and "Al"

Sheri wonders if she will ever reach a place of peace. She knows this is a process. She is turning to the word of God daily for acceptance and understanding. In many ways the stress of caring for Bob and "Al" and the shear exhaustion of these past 10 years, has only just started to subside, 6 months after placement. She actually finds herself crying more now then early on. Emotions have been buried deep for very long time, survival mode is what Sheri always called it.
John 14:26 But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you.
27 Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.
