Jarvis has empowered herself through education and a new support system so that she can embrace this new chapter of her life. “I guess it’s just life being life and unfolding the way it needs to, and me being prepared to learn and grow from the process,”she says.“I don’t recall ever thinking, ‘Why me?’ I mean, you just look at the world. We’re a world full of people, struggling to find ourselves and trying to live with each other.To me this is an amazing journey.” Contact your local Alzheimer Society Resource Centre and find out about services and learning opportunities available in your community.You can also call our toll-free Dementia Helpline at 1-800-936-6033.
