I was perusing Facebook the other day when I came upon a post by a friend of St. Andrew’s—none other than Steve Jacobsen himself. It was a thoughtful essay on a difficult topic written with sensitivity and care. I asked Steve if I could share it here and he generously allowed it. As one of the millions of people who have a loved one with Dementia, this essay addressed some of my questions and fears with clear information. I hope it has the same impact on you as it did on me.
Blessings,
Pastor Jen
