Have you ever walked along a shoreline, only to have your footprints washed away? That's what Alzheimer's is like. The waves erase the marks we leave behind, all the sand castles. Some days are better than others. Pat Summitt

Waves, Better, Sand, You, Leave, Castles

No matter who you are, what you've accomplished, what your financial situation is - when you're dealing with a parent with Alzheimer's, you yourself feel helpless.

Work, Live, Alone, Medical, Yourself

Pain, Mind, Suffering, Self, Process

If you don't have imagination, you stop being human; animals don't have imagination; Alzheimer's is the death of imagination. Devdutt Pattanaik

I'm jumping on a trend to try to engage my younger constituents. They need to know that a lot of what's happening now will impact their futures.

When people say, 'You have Alzheimer's,' you have no idea what Alzheimer's is. You know it's not good. You know there's no light at the end of the tunnel. That's the only way you can go. But you really don't know anything about it. And you don't know what to expect. Nancy Reagan

Good, Light, People, End, Know, You

Me, Knowing, Two, Like, Point, Other

Alzheimer's is a horrible thing. Some people are naive about it. They think, 'Oh it's just your memory,' but my mother was in terrible pain. Your body closes down. She didn't know if she'd eaten or if she wanted to eat. She couldn't remember how to walk. Towards the end, she didn't know us. It came gradually, then it got worse. Bonnie Tyler

Mother, Walk, Pain, Memory, People, End

I gave three years of my life to take care of my dying mother who had Alzheimer's disease. Being there for her every need for three years might have looked codependent but it wasn't because it was what I wanted to do. Melody Beattie

Life, Mother, My Life, Care, Dying, Her

Care, Loved, Husband, Stand, Take Care

Each form of Alzheimer's disease should perturb different brain networks and so influence the concentration of different proteins that can be measured in the blood. Leroy Hood

Brain, Influence, Blood, Different, Form

We have all witnessed, as well, family, friends, or medical workers who have chosen to provide years of loving care to persons who may suffer from Alzheimer's or other debilitating illnesses precisely because they are human persons, not because doing so instrumentally advances some other hidden objective. Neil Gorsuch

Family, Medical, Care, Friends, Doing

I think, in general, medicine in the 21st century will switch from healing the sick to upgrading the healthy... If you find ways to repair the memory damaged by Alzheimer's disease or dementia and so forth, it is very likely that the same methods could be used to upgrade the memory of completely healthy people. Yuval Noah Harari

Healing, Memory, People, Medicine, Think
