As dementia continues to rise in epidemic numbers in our country, so too, does the challenge of providing competent care to those most impacted in our families and church communities.  It is therefore vital to understand the implications that this disease has on grief, loss, and our most significant relationships, so that we can compassionately support people living with dementia and their care partners through this long and challenging illness.
