For those with a parent or significant other with Alzheimer's, the holiday season can be an especially difficult time. With family traditions come all the reminders of loss, and as much as one wants to include the person afflicted it can't be done once they reach a certain stage in the disease's progression. If you're in the midst of coping with this, either as a caregiver, spouse, son, daughter, or other relation, I'd like to offer my deepest thanks for the help you give and my sympathies for the suffering you must endure. And I'd like to remind everyone to think about someone you love and imagine not being able to share your love with them despite their being physically present. If you are currently in that situation, I'd like to offer a virtual hug and wish you all the best for future peace throughout the season and beyond.
