Alzheimer's is best described as the cleverest of thieves. It steals our mind bit by tiny bit until at last we have nothing left but fear and confusion. It is a constant race to remember, and yet a sad reality that one day we will remember everything and everyone that makes us happy for the very last time.
A young wife and mother receives a devastating diagnosis that leaves her struggling to accept and adapt to what will eventually become her life. Mental disease, depression, alcohol abuse, and suicidal ideation become prominent factors in her day-to-day. Her family, though supportive, grow to mourn the loss of their loved one before she's even passed on.
