"My Jesus, I long for the day of salvation; the day that I can feel myself whole again, body and mind working in tandem, being at peace. I long to trust in what I'm saying and thinking as what is proper, valid, on target. It is so lonely to live in this place of not knowing, not remembering.

Nearly two-thirds of those people are women. Beverly Mire is one of those women. There are 16 million caregivers of people living with Alzheimer's Disease and other dementias in the United States. Paula Sarver is one of those caregivers.
