This episode focuses on how I've been able to stay connected to my wife as she has progressed through the various stages of Alzheimer's disease. I will discuss how even though she has lost her ability to verbally communicate, how I was able to make certain adjustments that enabled me to continue to communicate with her and THAT SHE IS STILL THERE !

I will tell you of a recent experience,  where a couple of Shanna’s  longtime friends, who hadn't seen her for a couple of years, were able to visit and connect with her as well.

I will also talk about how I have come to realize that this ability to communicate is a gift from God and how it came to be.

Topics covered in this episode :

• Lesson Learned :  She is still there - it's up to me to find her
• The value of friends who visit our loved one
• Joy in reconnecting with friends 
• Adjusting to the decline of our loved ones verbal abilities over the years
• What I do to help stay connected to my wife
