Writing, Anyone…to Relate an Alzheimer’s Journey?

Mary Emma Allen — Thu, 02 Oct 2008 05:00:44 +0000

If you or your family members entertain thoughts of writing, either for pure fun, to write stories for school lessons, or to record your thoughts about Alzheimer’s caretaking, you might enjoy the series I’ve begun at One Book Two Book, Mary Emma’s Writing Tips. Although the weekly tips, prompts and activities are slated for young writers, they will work for anyone.

These will appear at One Book Two Book each Sunday. I also will suggest books and web sites where you can find help and inspiration, too.

I’ve often written about my journey through Alzheimer’s with my mom and aunt in hopes of giving others encouragement. Simply writing down your thoughts in a private journal often helps you cope with the frustrations of this time in your life.
