My wife Michelle Morissette and I are participating in the IG Wealth Management Walk for Alzheimer’s in Vancouver on May 25 th to raise money on behalf of the Alzheimer Society, so they can meet the growing demand for programs and services.
These and other resources make all the difference in the way that people affected by dementia are able to manage the disease and live life to the fullest.
I (Tom) was diagnosed with Alzheimer's Disease at the beginning of the Pandemic. I am still in the early to moderate stages of the disease and both myself and Michelle have both benefited directly from some of the resources the Alzheimer's Society has been able to provide. It has helped us to learn, and cope better with many aspects of the disease as well as with each other as genuine partner and caregiver.
Michelle and I have been married for 46 years. Although our life took a sharp turn from what we had envisoned for our retirement years, we still experience quality of life and joy. We have not given up, but instead decided to life for each moment.
The support groups we both belong to, and other services have provided us with some tools to continue living our best life together, enabled us to talk openly with others about the disease and helped us to work towards reducing the social stigma of living with Alzheimers.
