    Effective!

  • This brings tears to my eyes as I deal head on with dementia/alzheimers. My mom is in the mid stages of dementia and I care for her 24/7. It is so sad to see my dear little mom, Isabel declining as she is. It breaks my heart. You have captured the essence of this illness so perfectly in such few words - that takes great talent.
