A Sad Note From Alice

Last Thursday my husband lost his life to the cruel disease of lewy body dementia. The disease took one piece of him at a time.

October is Lewy Body Dementia Awareness Month. Lewy Body Dementia (LBD) is one type of dementia that is similar in some ways to Alzheimers but has it's own different challenges. LBD is a type of progressive dementia that leads to a decline in thinking, reasoning, and independent function due to abnormal microscopic deposits of a protein called alpha-synuclein, which damages brain cells over time. Researchers don't know exactly why these deposits form but through continued study and analysis, have gained a better understanding of this challenging condition. Currently, there is no cure for this disease. As someone who has lost a loved one to Lewy Body Dementia, I have committed to donating a part of the proceeds from the sale of my children's books, "Loving Lulu" and "Lulu Amorosa" to the Lewy Body Dementia Association (LBDA). The LBDA is an organization committed to advocating for, educating, and supporting those affected by Lewy Body Dementia. "Loving Lulu" and "Lulu Amorosa" will be available on November 2nd, 2020 in honor of my Mother on her first heavenly birthday. For more information or to seek resources, please visit lbda.org. Thank you for your support. ❤ #Dementia #LewyBodyDementia #LewyBody #MentalHealth #HealthCare #WomensHealth #LovingLuluStories #LovingLulu #LuluAmorosa #ChildrensBooks #FamilyMatters #Family #FamilyTime #Memories #ThankYou #Donating https://www.instagram.com/p/CGGi919lOQz/?igshid=uio7gv3fbn1y
