Connected: The stroke of a computer key changed a life.
As a caregiver full of despair and loneliness, Rose Lamatt enters a chat room on the Internet for the first time. She finds a different world than the one she's used to.
Night after night, she signs into the same chat room, meeting people who listen to her, people who are passionate, loving, and at times just as depressed as she is. At times she lives her life through these online friends. They save her from the everyday trials of caregiving. They are there each night keeping her connected to someone, something, not feeling alone and empty. For more than ten years, Rose shares a friendship with these souls, living their hopes and dreams, sharing their heartaches and happiness. Support from these friends, inspired Rose to write this story. This could be called | |  | | Just a Word
Friends encounter Alzheimer's. What happens after the word is heard.
Today is the first day that Rose has had the desire to write. She’s thought about it for months, even years, but this is the first time she feels the need. She wants to write of the struggle she's going through with this horrific disease called Alzheimer’s. She wants to write how the caregiver loses herself along with the victim. Victim—it’s the first she’s used this word. But there is no other that best describes it. Carol, Rose’s friend, is a victim of time.
