|
When Kimberly was first diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease, she took it as a devastating blow. She experienced the gamut of emotions anyone would feel after such a shocking discovery about oneself, including shock, denial, and depression. It took Kimberly more than a year to accept what the doctor had said— that she does in fact have Alzheimer’s disease and that it only gets worse as it progresses. After the
initial shock wore off, having strong support from her family, friends, and community helped her go from asking “why me?” to “what’s next?” Now, Kimberly organizes her days and stays involved with the activities she loves. She’s also taken steps to prepare for the future.

possible.
