Anyone can give up,
It’s the easiest thing in the world to do.
But to hold it together
When everyone else would understand
If you fell apart,
That’s true strength.

I’m sorry, but I hate the sentiment expressed in this “thought of the week”. This is a comment that seems to come from someone who doesn’t understand the struggles of having Dementia (I also have 2 other major health issues with no cure that causes unbearable suffering). those are VERY easy words to say about “Strength” and they DO NOT allow for Compassion for the people suffering. DID you get this comment from Tony Robbins or some other fake motivational speaker?? Extremely insensitive and it does not allow for basic compassion or an understanding of the suffering folks with Dementia experience. I am only 59 and I have not seen a more inappropriate comment on the topic.
