To everyone caring for someone living with Alzheimer’s, this post is for you.

A few days ago, my beautiful mother-in-law Margaret, aged 87, lost her husband of over 65 years. She was just 21 when they married. Now she’s facing life without the man she has spent almost her entire adult life with. And she is living with Alzheimer’s.

I’m learning that love isn’t always about grand gestures. Sometimes it’s simply showing up, again and again, even on the difficult days.
There are so many of us navigating this journey, with its heartbreaks, challenges and precious little moments of joy.
