What a woman with Alzheimer’s Disease never forgot: A tribute to mom

When a loved one is diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease, is the primary focus on what the loved one forgets? If so, we overlook critical aspects of the spiritual being - the part Alzheimer’s can’t destroy.

Kathleen Neubauer was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease in 2004 and went home to heaven in 2011. During Kathleen’s seven-year battle, what intrigued her daughter, Susan, wasn’t all her mom forgot, but what she continued to remember. The things Kathleen remembered came forth from her spirit and became winsome qualities and spiritual resilience that provided inner strength - not only for herself but also for her family.

What could not be destroyed and remained in Kathleen became chapters in this book. May each chapter touch your heart and inspire you to follow in her footsteps. You also can gain inner strength as you remember to include in your daily life what a woman with Alzheimer’s disease never forgot.
