READ MOREQuality of Life at End of Life


While it is physically and emotionally difficult, the end of life is a natural part of being human. There comes a time when traditional medicine can no longer treat symptoms; it can only provide comfort.

In America we are very proud of our soldiers and our veterans. The words “armed forces” bring to mind a desert in Iraq, an aircraft carrier in the Pacific, our local Veterans Administration building, and our nation’s flag waving over a sports arena while the National Anthem begins the game. Last week, the American flag presided over the opening ceremony at the 9/11 memorial and museum. Among the visitors to this ceremony were veterans of the 9/11 attacks and the following.

We are proud to commemorate World Alzheimer’s Day with an interview with Carolyn Haynali, the founder of The Caregiver’s Army.

In 2010, 14.9 million family and friends provided 17 billion hours of unpaid care to loved ones with Alzheimer’s and dementia. We find this extraordinary.
