@adriannelentine: For years, I assumed she was just tired. And maybe sometimes she is. But Alzheimer’s has taught me that there are so many things happening beneath the surface that we can’t see. The more I learn, the more I realize how hard her brain is working every single day just to navigate a world that no longer makes sense the way it once did. Sometimes what looks like disengagement may actually be mental exhaustion. And sometimes the kindest thing we can do is simply sit beside them and let them rest. 💕 Have you noticed this with your loved one? Let me know in the comments.
