I'm currently working with Dateline Media to get word out about the AU part of the global CONCERT trail on dimebon. Have you heard about dimebon and it's results so far? It is in phase III of a global trial. You can read about the AU news coverage on our blog http://dimebon-australian-study.blogspot.com/ It would be great if you could write a blog about the CONCERT trial whose official website is: http://www.concertstudy.com In Australia, the CONCERT trial is looking to connect with Alzheimer's patients & caregivers who would be eligible to participate in the trial. For those in AU wanting to find out more about dimebon and the CONCERT study, they can call the free hot-line 1-800-235-526. Much thanks, Mirina Hello,

It is exactly how I felt. I have been trying to write about my mother's journey - actually, our journey - because we both grew so much from it - and it is just so incredibly difficult to go back over how things unfolded. Our relationship was rather superficial for many years, and when it came time that she needed a little extra help, there was no one but me. At first, I was so exasperated - I didn't know or understand what she was going through - and in writing some of this down, I realize how impatient I was at times. Over the next year, my mother's condition declined rapidly. I found her a safe place to live and ended up visiting her there every day, sometimes several times a day, and during that time, we became not just mother/daughter, but the closest of friends. I grew to appreciate my mother as this incredibly strong, caring person, who even at the end was reaching out to others she considered less fortunate. She taught me so much, even with - and perhaps, especially with - this terrible disease. Helping my mother die - a little bit, every day - was the most important thing I have ever done. What kind of human beings are we if we do not? Hang in there. Be strong. Be thankful for small things. Your post brought tears to my eyes. It is exactly how I felt.
