Navigating the Long Goodbye: Understanding Grief and Cognitive Decline
Watching a loved one navigate the journey of Alzheimer’s or dementia is one of the most profound challenges a family can face. It is a unique experience—often described as "the long goodbye"—because you are mourning the loss of the person you knew while they are still physically present.
If you are currently walking this path, please know that your feelings are valid, and you are not alone. Understanding the emotional landscape of this journey is the first step toward finding peace.

To the families and friends who trusted me in 2025: Thank you.
