Women are the Center

We've touched on women bearing the care giving burden for Alzheimer's patients.  Mom is just one example of this.  Mom provided care for her Mother and now continues to provide care for her daughter.

Here are a couple of clips which pertain to women being the center of this epidemic.  The first deals with the statistics.  The second gives you one woman's expression of some of the conflicting emotions and choices she faced.

I include the clip with Maria Shriver to illustrate that even with all the possible resources at your disposal, the disease takes a staggering toll.
