If you have asked these questions in your mind, then it is now time for you to hasten your views in life. You see, life is short.

Although this may be their condition, you have to take into consideration that did not limit you in loving them no matter what. To show how much love you give to them, help them out with the following stimulating activities for Alzheimer patients.

Watching videos taken with the family during previous events in life. This would be the means where the patients could see the motion picture as familiar scene, making them recall specific events they had in their lives. You may allow them remember what they can. Become a contributor for the redemption of their memories in life.

Have some fun with crafts and arts. It would be effective for them, especially when you know they have an artistic background. Arts can be a part of anyone. It is important to bear in mind that the main point is not to make them do some art, but to tap the depths of their real being. Letting them do things such as this will help them remember things.

Sing songs or play music. A fun engagement could allow them to access the breadths of their memory. Singing songs makes them feel according to the emotions emphasized in a song, especially the ones which are closely related with what experiences the patient has before his condition came into his system.

Let them work for a better aroma of good food, especially their favorites. Bring them to the kitchen. Make them participate in preparing the ingredients to the total process of the cooking procedures. Choose to cook or bake their favorites and the ones their beloved. Be an instrument of their faster recovery. Slowly help them taste the sweet victory of recovery.

Splurge into mind games such as puzzles. Make them have some fun. Play with them. It is your call to keep them entertained as the functionality of their brain is still in the process. Just keep helping them through this, never run out of patience. Be hopeful that someday their memories can come back.

Go green. Going to a botanical garden is one. Being in such a place allows them to think and even want to plant one. Let them do so. It makes them exercise their mental capacity, making them think more. The more they do so, the more they can be able to recall significant things in their lives. So, it is your responsibility to help.

They may not remember you, but they still can feel your love for them. Grab hold of hope. Never give up staying by their side. Keep loving. Never stop.
