Nobody prepares you for the moment you realize your parent is changing, not aging, changing. In our families, we don’t name it. We protect each other by staying quiet, and that silence costs us time we can’t get back. Brain health changes can start up to 20 years before symptoms show up, which means the time to pay attention is now, not when it’s already too late.
