A huge thank you to OstrichUK for inviting me to be a guest blogger on their site this past Friday. I truly appreciate the opportunity and love everything this company is doing to help #ENDALZ.

Did you know that earlier this year, the wonderful folks at Ostrich donated thousands of window stickers and information posters to Norman McNamara’s Purple Angel campaign? Their generosity is helping to create dementia aware communities all over the world!

Here’s a link to my guest blog, a bit on the journey from denial to acceptance and the lessons learned in between. I hope it will strike a chord with other caregivers and loved ones, so please feel free to share Life After Caregiving.

The government shutdown has officially halted new federal investment in
Alzheimer’s research. But we can’t afford to waste a moment more
finding a cure for Alzheimer’s.
