Dad wandered out the front door at 2 a.m. last night. We're looking into door alarms now. Any recommendations from people who've been through this?

Had to move Mom into memory care this week. I know it's the right decision. So why does it feel like betrayal?

My mother-in-law still recognizes music from the 1950s even though she can't remember breakfast. We play it every morning now.

My father has Alzheimer's. Some days he doesn't know my name. I love him more than I can say and some days I can barely breathe from the weight of it. This community gave me permission to feel all of it — the love and the grief at the same time.
