Just dropping a note to say that so much of what you shared about dementia - the perpetual losing, the death-by-a-thousand-cuts of it all, even the shame… resonates. And made me feel less alone. Losing a beloved to this horrid disease is exhausting, infuriating, and just so devastating. Thank you for listening to that little inner voice that said, “share.” Community is everything and I hope this sharing brings you close to comfort and solidarity in an impossibly difficult time. Lots of love to you, your mom, and her entire community. ❤️

Thinking of you and your family Christina! 💙💙

I am impressed and inspired by you sharing what you are going through; there is often so much going on behind the scenes in everyone’s life but it can be hard to figure out how to authentically share about it while still wanting to share a fun fashion find. But you nailed this balance perfectly.

Sending my love.

Thank you for sharing your heart; this was brave and important. I notice that when things are hard for me means that I want soft things on my body. Appreciate showing what you are wearing lately.

This is so beautifully written. You really put words to paper on how it feels to lose someone to memory loss. The anger/fear/grief while still caregiving, the slow-at-first then unavoidable nature . . . all of it. Thank you for sharing and sending you <3
