I've had people tell me "Alzheimer's isn't hard on the patient, because they don't know what's happening. They are wrong. My dad told me "I feel so dumb, because I don't know things that I know I should know".
Alzheimer's effects the family as much as the patient. Trying to care and comfort someone who is lost and afraid is not easy when they cannot see the danger or understand their confusion.
I Walk because my mom was lost in that other world. Mostly she was scared and angry and lost. My heart broke for her. The worst part, there was little I could do to help her.
I have been involved in the Walk to END Alzheimer's for several years and a couple years ago I came up with the perfect team name: His Sparrows, a symbol of God's care and provision throughout our long journey.
"Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow, nor reap, nor store away in barns, yet your Heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of much more value than they. Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life? So do not worry, saying 'What shall we eat? or What shall we drink?... Your Heavenly Father knows what you need.
"But seek ye first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.
"Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own." Matt 6: 26-34
