What the Mind and Heart Know

The mind knows that Alzheimer's is progressive and terminal.  The mind knows how the dementia will create a new normal each day and that skills and capabilities will be lost.  The mind knows there's no way to stop this disease and no cure.

The heart knows there's no way to stop this disease and no cure.   The heart knows this hurts to watch.

Knowing what the mind knows doesn't stop the heart from what it knows.
