Betty Ford

Former First Lady Betty Ford recently celebrated her 93rd birthday.  Most of us associate her with the alcohol and substance abuse recovery treatment center she created. But she was and is much more.

Her public battle with breast cancer encouraged hundreds of thousands of women to have a mammography, saving countless lives. And her in-depth study of addiction issues pointed her to women with AIDS, whose unique problems led to substance abuse; and to her testifying before Congress in favor of health care coverage.  

As a young woman, Mrs. Ford made regular visits to hospitals for disabled children and first witnessed the potential for rehabilitation.  

We thank her for her groundbreaking efforts and wish the former First Lady continued health and happiness.

Denial, Denial, Denial

One of the saddest things I see in my office is families who are in denial about a family member with a memory disorder.  Sometimes the denial is in the form of ignorance, sometimes fear.   But it’s heartbreaking to watch. 

Denial is such a powerful emotion that it is often difficult to break through.  The problem with denial is that reality always wins and being prepared for the reality beats having it crash down.

Baby Boomers are the best when it comes to denial.   I guess if you’ve been called “baby“ your whole life, it’s hard to imagine that you will ever be a victim of Alzheimer’s disease.  But 10 million of us will! 

Our firm has made a significant investment in acquiring the highest quality information designed to guide caregivers and family members through the Alzheimer’s progression. Our dedicated Alzheimer’s resource center is available FREE, and can be accessed at: www.southfloridamemorylawyer.com

Help us educate the senior community-at-large. Feel free to send this message along to all your friends and family…
