Looking back, there were so many things I could have handled differently over the course of my mom’s illness. To put it bluntly, I just didn’t have a clue! The result? Life became a series of reactions to things I couldn’t control.

If my experience can help ease another family’s journey even just a bit, maybe it wasn’t all for naught….  To that end, I’d like to thank the fine folks at Better for inviting me to contribute Advice from an Alzheimer’s Daughter to their blog. I hope you’ll enjoy the article and find some of the tips useful.

Until next time….

Hello friends…  I need your help. Voting in the 2014 Best Senior Living Awards ends in less than a week.

As some of you know, I started this blog with one goal in mind. I wanted to reach the widest audience possible to offer support and education, encourage advocacy, and share our story in hopes of helping others on their Alzheimer’s journey. I’m proud and honored that the blog has been nominated in the 2014 Best Senior Living Awards’ Blogs by Individuals category.

Here’s where you come in! Popular vote determines which nominees will make it to the final round, and getting to that point would increase The LaWR’s exposure significantly.

Right now I’m behind, but your votes can easily change that! If you have just 30 seconds to click the link below and vote for (i.e. “like”) The Long and Winding Road, I would be very grateful. Please help me as we continue this fight to END Alzheimer’s! Voting closes Monday, April 28. Thank you so much. ❤

Unfortunately, only those with Facebook accounts are eligible to vote because voting consists of clicking a “like” button on my voting page.

I’d like to thank my friends at The Ostrich Group way over yonder, across the pond, for having me as a guest on their blog this week. This piece looks at what happens when life doesn’t unfold quite the way we planned. As they say, sometimes bad things happen to good people… so, what then?

Every day, good people find themselves in various situations that they didn’t ask for and certainly don’t want. However, it’s how we handle those situations that makes all the difference in the world. I hope you’ll enjoy Twists, Turns, and Transformations.
