Have you ever missed someone so much that it caused you actual physical pain? Have you ever grieved the loss of someone for so long that you thought you would never get over it? What if the person you were missing was sitting right next to you, but there was nothing you could do to bring that person back? That is exactly what my life has been like since my mom was diagnosed with Early Onset Alzheimer’s Disease at the age of 62. I have been missing her and grieving for her ever since. At just 25 years old, I was forced to navigate the biggest storm of my life so far, while learning lessons of life, love, and friendship along the way.Learning to Weather the Storm is a real and raw account of one daughter's struggle to accept her mom's Alzheimer's. Learning to Weather the Storm is guaranteed to make you laugh, cry, and pick up the phone to call your mom.
