💜 This Alzheimer’s & Brain Health Awareness Month, I honor my grandmother, Doña Patria, and the millions of families affected by this disease.
➡️ Progress depends on research, prevention, early diagnosis, and the caregivers who hold everything together.
💜To every caregiver out there: you are seen, you are valued, and you are heroes.

My grandfather wanted to avoid a long-term #care facility. Keeping that promise was incredibly hard.
He "had a solid financial plan and could afford #caregivers, but it was challenging".

The holiday season can be hard, esp. if you are someone w/#dementia and/or a #caregiver for someone w/#dementia. #HFC has many support groups for #caregivers, inc. "Keeping Each Other Company: Caregiving & #Grief." We meet 12.17 at 11 am PT.
Please consider filling out this google doc & joining one of these groups if you are feeling sad &/or lonely. Weirdly, sometimes talking w/people you don't know is easier than confiding in people you do.

December 17th at 11 am PT, I will be leading the last HFC support group -- "Keeping Each Other Company: Caregiving & Grief" -- of this year. The holidays can be especially hard for #caregivers & those they care for, so if you want/need a place to talk, listen, decompress, please consider joining one of the support groups offered by Seth & Lauren Miller Rogen's amazing foundation Hilarity for Charity. Here is a link:

Today is the last day of National Family #Caregivers Month. As @TonyStark likes to remind us -- and correctly -- Kamala had a plan to help caregivers keep their loved ones at home. But people rejected that in favor of the fascist sh#tshow we have now.
Anyway, here's to my mother who took care of my father for over 15 years -- some at home; some not. A photo, my favorite of the two of them, from the happiest of days.💜

The holidays are coming. If you are a caregiver of someone w/#dementia, you might find comfort in being w/others in similar situations. Here's a link to the free #HFC online support groups for #caregivers. #HFC is the foundation created by Lauren Miller Rogen & Seth Rogen in honor of her mother, Adele, who died of early-onset #Alzheimer's. I lead, "Keeping Each Other Company: Caregiving & Grief," & would be honored to see you Wednesday 11 am (PT), 11.19.

I wrote this for #caregivers w/my friend & healthcare expert, Ilyse Veron, a while back. One thing that strikes me as important but not always top of mind is that the person w/#dementia might be having an especially difficult day b/c they are in pain, physical pain. I think we are quick to attribute symptoms to neurological deficits when sometimes the problem is bodily. It can be hard to figure out but worth trying.

The #UnitedStates of #Aunties: The #culture #powering #VicePresident #KamalaHarris' #campaign
In the #Black and #SouthAsian #communities Harris hails from, being an “#auntie” is an #honorific for #caregivers, #communitybuilders — and maybe even the next #president
