Welcome, friends! I am so grateful to have you here.
My writing journey began unexpectedly one restless night several months ago, as thoughts of my beautiful mother and her battle with Alzheimer’s disease churned through my mind.
As I tossed and turned that evening, a constant rush of reflections filled every corner of my head. It felt like the universe or some force beyond was compelling me to bring my thoughts and feelings out of hiding and into the open. I tried to ignore it, but the nudging persisted, and I finally accepted its invitation.
What began as a journaling practice has morphed into a journey of introspection and growth. ​Writing has become a vessel for continuing my Mom’s legacy, sharing who she was as an amazing mother and human being. It has also become a platform to shed light on the complexities of Alzheimer's disease and the experiences we've faced as a family navigating it all.
As I continue to write about my Mom, and delve into topics of grief, parenting, and more, I invite you to join me here. I hope this little corner of the internet becomes a safe space for you – a space where you feel seen, heard, and understood. Where you feel less alone in your hardships and struggles.
Life is good and it’s hard, it’s messy, and it’s beautiful, and it’s everything in between. But what I know to be true is when we open up to each other, the more we can learn from each other and find strength together. So, let’s break down the barriers of silence by sharing our stories. I’ll go first, friends.
​
With gratitude,
Brooke
