in I Am Living With Younger Onset Alzheimer's

I’m a 59yr old female who’s been diagnosed with Younger Onset Alzheimer’s. About several years ago I knew I was gradually forgetting the littlest things which grew to bigger things (how to get home) . At that point I went to my Neurologist who was seeing me for my Parkinson’s. Now I was in denial however, getting connected with Alzheimer’s Association community outreach resources I feel blessed. Reading all the messages from people my age discussing their day to day reflections I feel like (okay ) I’m not alone. I have a therapist recently I talk to. Gradually, I will come around and be able to share more however, in the meantime I will be Praying for all of you. God Bless.
