My brother and his wife while visiting my mother found her speaking to her “friend.” They were able to capture this special moment which truly shows us how two people with Alzheimer’s can connect. We, as a family, did not feel that my mother was capable of this anymore.
This is a touching video that shows us the intimacy two friends can have. While they held hands, my mother shared with Margaret how her daughter (me) did not come to visit her. From what I have just witnessed, I am able to understand a little better.
Lisa Hirsch is a popular blogger with a worldwide audience. She had a long, successful career in the fashion industry and had numerous articles published in the US, the UK, and Canada. She lives in Manhattan with her husband and has one loving son.
When Lisa Hirsch found out her mother, Ruth, had been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease, her love, appreciation, and caring for her mother was transformed. To Lisa’s surprise, it has brought her and Ruth closer together than they’ve ever been. My Mom My Hero tells the story of this mother-daughter relationship through a series of entries from Lisa’s internationally popular blog. Ultimately this is an uplifting and inspirational book for anyone who’s going through the difficult and often lonely ordeal of caring for a loved one who suffers from this devastating illness.
