The Things Nobody Warned Me About
When Grandma was diagnosed, people warned us about memory loss, hallucinations and the practical challenges of Lewy Body Dementia.
Nobody warned me about the guilt.
Or the loneliness.
Or the moments I wasn't proud of.
Or that grief wouldn't arrive when Grandma died.
These are the things nobody warned me about.
If you've found yourself feeling any of these things, I hope these guides remind you of one thing:
You're not the only one.
