Haunting Hands - E-book - ePub

Memories. They affect and determine our daily experiences. So, what do you do when someone is not who you think they are?Is there anything you can do?As of 2023, Alzheimer's disease affects 1 in 9 people, according to the Alzheimer's Association of America-and Black Americans and Hispanics are among the highest demographics that suffer from the disease. I am no expert on the disease, but I have witnessed it among three of my grandparents, who are of so-called African and Latin ancestry.
It's a taboo topic among many, yet several individuals will confront people with this brain disease. So what happens when touch becomes more powerful than words, and sensation is a constant reminder of confusion?This book will take you on a gentle dive into the mind of a character struggling with Alzheimer's. And through her eyes, you will struggle to re-discover and accept what is true. I hope you enjoy this short story inspired by my mother's hands, my late grandmother's spunk, and my father's care. The characters in this short story are fictional.
