When we think about Alzheimer's disease we often think that the individual who has the disease is suffering. The family members, caregivers are the ones most affected by the disease.
They have to witness their love ones drifting away in a place where no one can rescue them.
We need to support the caregivers and give them a big shout out because it is not easy.
