I will probably send out a few quick updates rather than in-depth newsletters. Next week I will be heading down to Washington, D.C. for the annual World Alzheimer Congress. I will be attending with Nancy Bryce, one of ElderCare Online's Contributing Editors, and we will be writing articles based on the topics presented at the conference. Please note that we have an abbreviated discussion group schedule. Just a quick heads up on a comprehensive article regarding eldercare and the Internet in a recent article on FamilyPC magazine's website.
Intimacy is an important part of our marital relations.
However, as our loved one sinks deeper into dementia, they lose the complete understanding and appreciation for intimate behavior. Sexual activity may be lost all together or displayed inappropriately. Donna's recent posting in the ElderCare Forum is very personal. After seeing it in another Alzheimer's discussion group, I asked her to share it with our community. I want to thank her for being honest and straight-forward about her personal challenge.
