Description
According to the Alzheimers Association, over six million Americans are living with the disease, and that number is only expected to increase as medicine improves and Americans live to older ages. As a result, millions of families have loved ones suffering from the disease, and of the over 11 million unpaid caregivers, almost a quarter of them have children.
When the authors grandmother was diagnosed, she was in elementary school and couldnt find many resources to help children understand what the disease was or how it would affect her grandmother. She was scared and confused, much like other children with loved ones suffering from Alzheimers.
Though her grandmother never got to see Cookies for Grandma get published, this project is her reminder that while Alzheimers is scary, the person with Alzheimers is forever someone who loves and is loved. Alzheimers, as a disease, doesnt have to be scary. Understanding and supporting a loved one with Alzheimers is possible for everyone, including kids.
My grandmother was someone who loved in action. Through Cookies for Grandma, I hope to inspire others to continue what she started-loving through action. Everything is better with chocolate chips and love-filled cookies.
