I began waking early mornings writing poetry after a diagnosis of early on-set Alzheimer's disease. The power within me spoke as I've never been called to speak before. The poems explain my mixed up feelings of why me?, what now? and where do I begin? I began listening, reading, and researching my diagnosis and decided to speak up and out about a disease most do not want to acknowledge.Communication is key. My Dad had Alzheimer's. I've been diagnosed. Who else? Statistics say it could be you and your family, and more of my own family--there is a need to build awareness, dispel the stigma and my poetry does that. Some are light-hearted, some informative and others helpful for families, friends, and caregivers. No library descriptions found. |
