My husband’s mother had dementia. I was not his wife when she was diagnosed or as the disease progressed. I only knew the family slightly through work where I saw Georgia on a very limited basis. Since we have been married, Kim has shared memories of some of the difficulties he faced while caring for his mom at home. It was not easy. Having a group to contact to ask about information or services would have been helpful. The Memory Cafe would have been a welcome outlet and support for him. I am, naturally, aware that Alzheimer’s is a hereditary disease and at some point, Kim, his siblings, or other relatives may be diagnosed with it. This group is an asset to Big Stone County. While we pray I never need its support, it is a comfort to know that the organization is here to help!
