As a former caregiver to an elderly parent who had Alzheimer’s disease, Florida-based Ray counts it a privilege to write columns discussing the day-to-day challenges associated with the onslaught of memory loss.

Her goal is to assist the caregiver on their journey by encouraging them to keep trudging through the mire of uncertainty.
