People often ask me how I came to accept my mom’s Alzheimer’s diagnosis and how I was able to change my perspective surrounding it. It took me years to accept what was happening to my mom and to change my perspective. But eventually, I was able to go from having to leave the room to cry every time I saw her, to actually enjoying and making the most out of our time together.
