I have no map for our last journey and it is breaking my heart.
DEAR LEFT BEHIND: My first suggestion is that you should visit your friend in person as soon as possible. Book your trip today. Bring photos to look at together, take walks, listen to music, and simply be present and experience your time together with gratitude.
It can be mentally challenging and emotionally heartbreaking to be with someone whose memory is failing. Your friend might have good days and tougher days – or mornings might be better for her than evenings. Don’t stress her by trying too hard to prompt memories from her, but go with her flow – wherever that takes both of you.
