The Alzheimer Spouse website, www.thealzheimerspouse.com , the #1 site on the Internet for support and information for spouses of Alzheimer/dementia patients, announces its latest feature – The perspective of the spouse with dementia – a monthly blog written by Tracy Mobley, diagnosed with Early Onset Alzheimer’s Disease at the age of 38, author of Young Hope, The Broken Road, and founder of Camp Building Bridges – a respite camp for children of Alzheimer parents.
Tracy will write a monthly blog about coping with dementia from her perspective, the view from the spouse who has the disease. Joan Gershman, founder of www.thealzheimerspouse.com, the wife of an Alzheimer patient herself, has worked to make her website a place of comfort, support, and information for other spouses caring for husbands and wives with Alzheimer’s Disease/dementia. She has always felt that caregivers need the perspective of the one for whom they are caring in order to better cope with their mood swings and behaviors. Tracy Mobley, who has been struggling to adjust to life with dementia for 7 years, will provide that perspective. Look for her first blog – how family denial affects the person with the disease – on Monday, February 1, 2010.
