Swallowing a deep hiccup, Mrs. Schwarz’s delicate shoulders shake as her eyes water. “I don’t know what’s become of me,” she says, her voice breaking. “Some days I wake up and I don’t even remember my own name!” These moments of lucidity cast a long shadow. The self-awareness is excruciating.
Why does one do anything? Why do we continue to see people who may forget us the next day, do good deeds without recognition or payment, or bother to be nice? Leah Goldman has written a moving article called “A Mind Trapped,” of her experience with an elderly friend with Alzheimer’s.
This autumn, the Alzheimers Association is having its Memory Walk fundraiser. Alaska does not seem to have one coming up, but they have other opportunities such as a virtual walk for those who cannot make it to a regular walk.
If you think you have a loved one with Alzheimers Disease, don't hessitate to contact a doctor to see about screening. For more information on signs, go here to their page.
