A Chapter from "Staying Afloat in a Sea of Forgetfulness"

The Long Goodbye
Gary Joseph LeBlanc

Just when a person’s memory really begins to matter most in life, this cruel and heartless disease comes along, disrupting everything and everyone that is close.
The fact is, Alzheimer’s is an irreversible disease and, unacceptably, has no known cure. It slowly steals the victim’s mind, leaving a long trail of broken-down, worn-out family members and caregivers Read more of this blog post »

Quotes by Gary Joseph LeBlanc (?)

“There’s an old saying, “between you and me and the lamppost.” Well, leave the lamppost and the extra person out of this.”
― Gary Joseph LeBlanc, Managing Alzheimer's and Dementia Behaviors

“The stress isn’t simply related to the daunting physical demands of caregiving. It also is intensified from the daily sadness of watching these loved ones deteriorate. On top of that, there’s the relentless worrying about making sure they receive the very best care from both you and anyone else involved in their care. The tension of not disappointing them or other family members is always a heavy weight. It’s no wonder it sometimes takes years to recover!”
― Gary Joseph LeBlanc, The Aftereffects of Caregiving
