Abstract | Abstract From a reflection on the challenges of providing care for a person with Alzheimer's {(AD)} disease, a daughter's look at mom's faithful care asks questions of {AD} disabilities, of virtues, and of the necessary and uniquely human prospects of {interdependent/Trinitarian} modeling existence. The first question considers the pathology of {AD} and other complicating health conditions. The second question explores the development of virtues, such as flexibility, stamina, humor, fidelity, and self-care that may enrich care-giving. The third question suggests that the current model {ofUS} healthcare inadequately finds justice for persons marginalized either by their unwelcome dementia or isolating care-giving. |
