"Give sorrow words; the grief that does not speak whispers the over fraught heart and bids it break." William Shakespeare
With whom can you speak your grief? It needs to be someone with compassion, time, and good listening skills. I am currently paying a therapist to listen to me and to help me see if my thinking is correct. Of course, I also have friends and family who will listen, but they each have challenges and lives of their own with which to deal. I think Shakespeare is right about this, as he is about so many things: we must speak our grief -- or have it break our hearts.

This blog is written to provide information and support to persons who are providing care for someone with dementia. A first indicator of dementia is when someone has trouble doing a task once familiar and easy for them. If you have begun to be concerned about someone's memory or cognitive processing, help the person receive a physical exam, to include lab work, and an appointment with a neuropsychologist for an evaluation of memory and cognitive processing.
