You don’t have to be a writer to tell a meaningful story.

The stories shared through Our Voices. Our Stories. aren’t about perfect grammar or polished writing. They’re about real people sharing real experiences that may encourage, comfort, or inspire someone else.

Whether you write a few paragraphs or several pages, we’ll work with you to prepare your story for publication while preserving your voice. There is no right or wrong way to begin. Simply tell your story.

Need a little help getting started? Below you’ll find optional prompts to guide your writing. You don’t need to answer every question or even answer them in order. Use whatever helps you tell your story.

Drag & Drop Files, Choose Files to Upload You can upload up to 4 files.
Attach the photo(s) that you'd like us to accompany your story. These might include family photos, snapshots from meaningful moments, or current photos that help tell your story.
Who are you beyond dementia? Help readers get to know the person behind the story. Perhaps tell us about your family, career, passions, hobbies, what brings you joy, or what has shaped who you are today.
When and how did dementia become part of your story? You might share a meaningful moment, a challenge you've faced, a relationship that's changed, or an experience that has stayed with you.
Every journey leaves us with new perspectives. Perhaps you've discovered unexpected strength, found joy in surprising places, learned something about yourself, or seen life differently because of this experience.
If someone reads your story years from now, what do you hope stays with them? Maybe there's something you wish more people understood about dementia, caregiving, friendship, community, or simply being human.
Sometimes the most meaningful part of a story is the part no one thought to ask. If there's another memory, lesson, or reflection that's important to you, we'd love to hear it.

Happiest Moment?

When my kids planned a surprise party for my 90th birthday. Two of my children are local, but my son and his family are in Jacksonville, FL. My entire KY/OH – even my FL family traveled up – came together to celebrate my special day. No one has ever done something so nice for me and it was the first time in a long time the entire family was all together. It was such a nice surprise.

I feel like everything I did was easy. Every job I wanted, I got. I was very lucky.

I remember I got a job to work in the hospital in Evanston, Illinois after WWII, working on the paraplegia unit for young men who were veterans. My boss came to me and asked me, “How would you like to stay on in the paraplegia unit working Mondays and Fridays only? There would be no holidays.” It was the best job I could have hoped for. I also had a great team. I worked with a group of young black men who were trained as nurses’ aides. It was a wonderful experience. There has never been a more caring bunch of people than those men to care for our wounded veterans.
