My husband was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s in 2010, and we dealt with this illness together for nearly eight years before his death.  I’ve learned a thing or two, and I would like to share my own knowledge (both as a partner and as a psychologist) and the knowledge of many others.  While there are resources on Alzheimer’s, I believe that it is a special situation when it is your husband, your wife, or your intimate partner who has the condition.  The dynamics are different, and the impact on your own life is enormous.

I will be interviewing experts and continuing my own research on the best possible information to help partners in their quest to cope and support.  I’d also like to hear from as many people as possible about their own experiences.

If you are the partner of a person with dementia, would you please consider taking my short, anonymous survey to share your questions, concerns, and the resources that have been helpful to you?  We are a large community, and we can learn from each other.  If you are willing to help, you can use the survey link, scan the QR Code below, or email me at AlzPartner@gmail.com and I’ll answer any questions you may have about the survey and send you a link.  Here’s the web link: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/CKFLC87

You can take this survey on your smartphone, your computer, or your tablet.

Thanks in advance for sharing your wisdom and concerns.
