This is a story about generational trauma and coming to terms with a life-changing diagnosis.
It was supposed to be a routine doctor's appointment until it wasn't. My mom's Alzheimer's dementia diagnosis turned my world upside down, literally. It forced me to move back into my childhood home to take on my new role: family caregiver.
This is how it all began.
