Seann Loresco, a nurse who works with Alice Howland, wrote a letter to Alice's husband John Howland to offer support. Alice has been diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer's disease, which is rapidly progressing. Her disease is a rare, genetically inherited form from her father. As the disease progresses, Alice will forget more things like where she put items, how to do tasks, and eventually people's names. Seann emphasizes that John's continuous assistance, patience, and understanding will greatly help Alice as the disease deteriorates her memory and abilities. Seann hopes the progression of Alice's disease decelerates and offers additional support if needed.

Dear Mr. Howland,
My name is Seann Loresco and I am a nurse who works with your wife, Alice Howland. I know that it is hard seeing your wife slowly forgetting the things that she used to remember, the things that used to define her, and her memories slowly and continuously slipping away. I empathize with you. As you know, Mrs. Howland has an Early-onset Alzheimer and diagnosed with a very rare type of Alzheimer’s Disease―Familial Alzheimer’s Disease, that is passed genetically. She had it from her father and your children might have also gotten the genes. Subsequently, because of her genetic predisposition, her disease progresses more promptly than the more common types. Your wife’s disease is rapidly progressing and she needs and will need support―from you and your family. She will forget where she put things, she might get lost on the way home, she will forget how to tie her shoelace, will pee and soil in her pants after not finding the bathroom, will forget the reason of a fight, and might even forget you and your children’s names and her and your birthday. She will need someone to calm her during her angry outbursts and will continue to remind her things. She will start forgetting the things that once defined her and maybe some things will remain. I know that it is painful to watch your wife to continue deteriorate and disappear more and more with each passing days, but your continuous assistance, support, patience, and understanding is a great help to her. I know that you are a good husband and you will take care of her. It must be hard to look at your wife because gone is the woman that you used to know and knew you, but I want you to know that she is still Alice Howland, your wife who loves you, and the woman who loves words and language. She may not remember or keep her memories with you but you can always store and reminisce them in you for her. If you need any assistance or additional information, you can contact me on the addresses that I provided above, and I will gladly be of help. I really hope for her improvement and for the progression of her disease to decelerate. Continue to be strong for you, your family, and Mrs. Howland.
