Anyone can give up,
It’s the easiest thing in the world to do.
But to hold it together
When everyone else would understand
If you fell apart,
That’s true strength.

It is a place where we separate out the wheat from the chafe, the important articles & videos from each week’s river of news. Google gets a new post on Alzheimer’s or dementia every 7 minutes. That can overwhelm anyone looking for help. This site filters out, focuses on and offers only the best information. it has helped hundreds of thousands of people since it debuted in 2007. Thanks to our many subscribers for your supportive feedback.

I’m sorry, but I hate the sentiment expressed in this “thought of the week”. This is a comment that seems to come from someone who doesn’t understand the struggles of having Dementia (I also have 2 other major health issues with no cure that causes unbearable suffering). those are VERY easy words to say about “Strength” and they DO NOT allow for Compassion for the people suffering. DID you get this comment from Tony Robbins or some other fake motivational speaker?? Extremely insensitive and it does not allow for basic compassion or an understanding of the suffering folks with Dementia experience. I am only 59 and I have not seen a more inappropriate comment on the topic.
