A Chapter from "Staying Afloat in a Sea of Forgetfulness"

The Long Goodbye
Gary Joseph LeBlanc

Just when a person’s memory really begins to matter most in life, this cruel and heartless disease comes along, disrupting everything and everyone that is close.

Quotes by Gary Joseph LeBlanc (?)

“In everyone’s life, at some time, our inner fire goes out. It is then burst into flame by an encounter with another human being. We should all be thankful for those people who rekindle the inner spirit.” ~~ Albert Schweitzer”

“The stress isn’t simply related to the daunting physical demands of caregiving. It also is intensified from the daily sadness of watching these loved ones deteriorate. On top of that, there’s the relentless worrying about making sure they receive the very best care from both you and anyone else involved in their care. The tension of not disappointing them or other family members is always a heavy weight. It’s no wonder it sometimes takes years to recover!”
― Gary Joseph LeBlanc, The Aftereffects of Caregiving
