Among the best ways to alleviate stress for ourselves and for loved ones living with serious health conditions is to embrace opportunities to be silly together. Laugh together, find beauty and joy in unlikely places together.

Don’t let others tell you — and please try not to tell yourself — that it is time to get over your grief. Accepting and processing the pain is essential to your healing and rebuilding.

#Alzheimers #dementia #mentalhealth #grief #healing #quote

Healing doesn’t
happen all at once. It
comes quietly in the
deeper breaths, in the
softer mornings, in
the way your body
feels safer. It’s when
tension loses its grip.
It’s when you meet
yourself with
gentlesness over
judgement. Healing
is subtle - it moves
softly. And its magic
lies in the way your
body finally feels like
home.

Amyloid-β🟣 is an antimicrobial peptide that can be produced to trap pathogens in the brain. But it also induces an extensive neuroinflammatory response, as shown here with 🟠astrocytes. #NeuroCovid
