I saw this today in a divorce Facebook group and it hit home. A daughter told her Mom who didn’t want to decorate for the holidays to not allow divorce to steal your joy. Dementia took so much. Our future and my soulmate. I am going to work very hard to not allow it to steal my joy and the rest of my life. My husband wouldn’t want that. I will curse dementia the rest of my days but I will find joy and happiness. 💜

    I hope that you are able to regain some joy in your life and move forward again. None of us should have to live our lives in the sadness and depression that dementia brings on but it is hard for me yet to take those first steps. Here's hoping that somewhere out there a spark will come to ignite a fire under me to take those first steps. All the best to you in finding your path forward.
