This story comes to us from Viola Charles.  I have heard that doll therapy works great with an AD patient.  Here is an example of that. Thank you Viola for sharing.  Your mom truly sounds like an angel with a sweet heart.

My mom has had Alzhiemers for 11years now. There are 7 siblings including my daughter that my mom raised for me. My mom just turned 88 in February.  My mom is an Angel - she does not know anybody but she does know me because I take care of her 24/7.  My mom raised so many of us plus alot of nieces and nephews,grandkids etc... She loves every little kid that passes her way.She has a doll that she loves to love all day long.  She feeds her, kisses her and covers her with a blanket.  If I try to touch the doll she will pull on her and tell me NO!!!! LOL! 

Everyone told me to put her in a nursing home but I refused.  It is very hard because I also take care of my Dad who is 92years old but he is sharp as a tack...whewww!  My mom has her bad days but mostly good days..It is so sad to see someone go though this terrible disease.  I wish I had my momma back!!!!!!! :**(

    My mother was recently diagnosed with Alzheimer's.  It took our family 3 years to get proper diagnosis.  My sister and my father who are the primary caregivers for my mom are going through extreme challenges dealing with the impact of this disease.  This is what inspired me to create and dedicate 4URLOVE to all the caregivers of Alzheimer's patients in the world for their commitment, love, sacrifice and unfathomable patience.
