After losing my father to a long battle with Alzheimer's, I wrote this essay to help people navigate through the devastating journey of having a loved one with Alzheimer's, because it is the family and those closest to the individual with the disease who bear the greatest burden. 

Most people find themselves thrust into this nightmare completely unprepared and ill-equipped, just as we were. Helping others through this means the world to me, so I hope this helps you in a multitude of ways. Also, please share the essay in any capacity possible, not only to raise awareness, but to specifically draw attention to the red flags and signs of Alzheimer's given that there are many people at this very moment who have a family member with dementia, yet do not realize it.

Thank you so much,

Darren Keith
