I know many of you have visit The Alzheimer Spouse site and Joan has asked me to be a monthly blogger there and I agreed. My first blog comes out the first part of Feb. You won't want to miss it, it is titled, Pain of The Heart. Just go to www.thealzheimerspouse.com

Tracy

I'll be there.

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, author (Young Hope, The Broken Road), founder of Camp Building Bridges – a respite camp for children of Alzheimer parents, and diagnosed with Early Onset Alzheimer’s Disease at the age of 38. Her diagnosis was later changed to Frontal Temporal Lobe Dementia in 2008.

Tracy will write a monthly blog about coping with Alzheimer’s Disease 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. 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 Early Onset Alzheimer’s Disease 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.
