"When my Mom couldn't recognize me and my family anymore, I was devastated. I didn't know how to communicate with her, how to help her or how to explain to my children the odd behavior of their loving Grandma. Attending a Tele'Drama online group helped me to understand how we can continue living well even with the presence of the illness" (P.W., United States)
