Welcome to my Journey
As most of you know my Mother suffers from Alzheimer's. Her sister did too.
My Mother has been living with me since my Father past away 8 years ago. In October last year she had a life changing fall that put her in a wheel chair. She has been in the hospital ever since and is in waiting for a Long Term Care Spot as I can no longer take care of her at home.
It has been a devestating journey as I try to navigate the systems and advocate for her. I try to go everyday still and it takes a toll on us both as her cognitive abilities come and go..
I was fortunate to become involved with the Alzheimer's Society and it has kept me afloat. I have attended support groups, received valuable information and tools to cope and even 1:1 ongoing counselling. I am part of an amazing group of people who are all adult children taking care of their parent(s) with dementia.
On Saturday May 25th I'm participating in the IG Wealth Management Walk for Alzheimer Society of Durham Region. There are 12,000 people in Durham Region living with dementia who turn to the Alzheimer Society for support.
You can support us in many ways. You can walk with us if you are able, come out and cheer us on, sponsor someone in the group, spread the word or pray. What ever works for you.
Thank you for your generous support,
Allison Laing
