My mom asked me the other day if I still remember what my step dad was like before he was diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer’s…because she feels like her memories of him pre-Alzheimer’s are slowly slipping away. I still remember what he was like back then, but thinking about it feels strange…almost like I’m remembering […] The post Gratitude and Grief Can Coexist appeared first on Jen Hayes ..read more

But lately I’ve been feeling like I […] The post Why I’m Not Setting Big Goals This Year appeared first on Jen Hayes ..read more

Loving someone who has dementia is hard.  There have been many ups […] The post Allow Yourself to Grieve appeared first on Jen Hayes ..read more
