Thank you for sharing this journey. I am glad you are taking a break to focus on what is coming next, and send you sincere gratitude for sharing the life of this remarkable woman, the tragedy of the diagnosis, and your vulnerability as you travel this lonely path.
I totally enjoyed watching Diane perform her Clarissa Nickels. She was so beautiful and sure of herself in that part. It is totally amazing what she accomplished even while losing her vision. You and Diane were the perfect team, and I thank you both for the inspiration. (I am losing my vision to macular degeneration. Shortly I'm getting a shot for the dry type, which is rather new. It is an effort to show it down a bit. I am trying to finish my autobiography which I'm writing for the children. It's a race with my eyesight, and Diane is my example of not giving up. God bless you both, Aaron and Diane.) June Seat
I am new to your blog; found your blog before Zi really KNEW what was happening to my life partner of 50 years. Recently got confirmation of Alzheimer's diagnosis. We married in med school & have had a lovely life of family, friends & travel. Prior to his retirement,
I watched his behavior and speech change & I even kept notes to see if I could identify a trigger. Was it a medication, a brain tumor, long COVID? Then I wondered the worst -Lewey body, alzheimers, or the Bruce Willis dementia? Because he was a physician, it was hard to get him to the doctor for evaluation. And harder to push them to look further and deeper into what I saw.
He's now on the newest infusion treatment for Alzheimer's. Say a prayer.
Do I know you're taking a break--but before you sign off , I just wanted you to know that the BEST tool for "dealing" was your post about separating the disease from the person & giving it a name. This has been so helpful in keeping my frustration in check & compartmentalizing my feelings about his behavior. Thank you, thank you!! And God-speed in your journey to find peace and hopefully joy in YOUR LIFE! You only get one; so glad you're embracing some "all about YOU" activities!!

Love. Peace. Serenity.
