Alison You are a wonderful wife mother and carer.be kind to yourself you are carrying a huge load.much love and prayers.💕

The best course of action is always to live life as best you can. You and your family are doing that. Take care. Love.

It's heartbreaking quite honestly. No one deserves to go through this it's not right.

Hi Allison,please i want you to know ,Ive lived your pain,cried those tears.My husband passed in 2019 age 60 from HD.His journey was our journey too.When God chose them for us.He knew he made the right choice.Omg! havent cried like that in a bit, felt so good.Thank you for sharing your family with us.HUGS .

Thank you for telling your story , as heartbreaking as it is - I admire your courage and attitude , I know it can't be easy . Hopefully , with more public awareness of this disease , the road to a cure will come quicker .

You are a blessing to Bert and Elise

I've been diagnosed with it.its untreatable

Im sorry, Alison. I wish I could give you a hug. Praying for you 🙏 ❤️

What a lovely, lovely woman! She does know what it is to live with Huntington's disease. She has a double dose of it, and although she doesn't have the physical symptoms, she has to live with and manage the symptoms of two of the people she loves most in the world. It is tragic that people and families hid the disease from their spouses. Huntingtons and other neurological diseases (like ALS) are maddening. There are always research articles proclaiming that we are on the cusp of a cure, or at least a viable treatment. I get very excited. Victims of the disease and their families are ecstatic--until you realize that they have been saying the same thing for decades. These families need our support and encouragement. We need to stop funding ridiculous pet projects like " bus stops complete with Wi-Fi, heated benches and sidewalks, and a steel-frame roof" or the "Popular Romance Project," or "he National Institutes of Health spent more than $300,000 on a University of California, Berkeley, study that proved something no one was questioning-couples are happier when the woman calms down after an argument." Start looking at the other outrageous things, on which our tax dollars are squandered! That money needs to be spent on research and testing for cures, and for pre-IVF testing for people who have these genetic diseases. We owe it to them. We owe it to the yet unborn children who will be afflicted with these diseases. We owe it to the people who love them.

Praying for you Alison God bless you abundantly

Thank you for sharing your story 🙏🏼

I am truly sorry about your husband and daughter. Never feel alone. There are many many people with HD. It's okay for you to cry. Thank you for your story.

I’m currently my husband’s caregiver because of Huntington’s. It’s tough, but I want him to be as safe, happy, and healthy as possible for as long as possible. It’s a horrific disease.

Thank you for sharing your inspirational story. As the carer of an adult discharged unsafely from CNTW mental health Trust and the fallout when I was the target and got blamed when he was delusional. But I got on with it. I gave up my Senior nurse career, and PhD but got MPhil, got into carer related debt, nonetheless the reward of making a difference in others lives is worth it.

This is so heartbreaking for you Alison. Your beautiful caring nature shines through . Your husband and daughter are so lovely. You are sharing precious times. Bless you all

Lovely Lady,dear Allison What a caring,compassionate person you are Warm Hugs from Amman Jordan 🇯🇴 The Middle East

Just came across this video, since there are not very many new videos that are less than a year old. My father-in-law had HD and both brother-in-law‘s had HD and now my niece has it and she’s 28 my husband is 61 It does not have any symptoms, so we’re just praying that God has chosen not to be caregivers. After watching my mother-in-law go through taking care of her husband with HD for eight years now we’re doing the same thing. It’s the cruelest coolest disease out there. I wish more people know about Huntington’s disease. God bless you for making this video.❤😢

All the best, Alison. Thanks for making this video and sharing your story. xxx

What a beautiful caring angel she is!

May god be with all those with Huntington’s Disease.

Alison, I am crying with you. You are a wonderful person. You have way too much on your plate. I wish I could help you.

Alison, there are no words to say about this challenge in your life and the great loss. God bless you always.

What beautiful children you have.

Stay positive. Treatments are coming.

Thank you for sharing your story. Very very sad and prayers for you and your family.

I am a caregiver for 2people with Huntington disease,one is Autistic and the other just the Huntington,at times it becomes over whelming.when they are irritated.but I have been with them for 7yrs now.at times I want to leave.but they really need me when I think about them.God keeps my mind.

My mother died of HD about 12 years ago. One of my brothers also developed the disease and opted for assisted suicide when he was 54. It was a huge shock to the rest of the family as he didn’t tell us about his HD and he refused to have a relationship with us. We only found out when his wife phoned us to tell us he died.

Alison I wish I could take the pain and stress from you.

Can anyone assist

This is so sad.

She is amazing.

If the father is older, why is the daughter symptomatic so early? Is true that cats increase from father to child?

Searching for HD groups

I hope you have the support you need I nursed my Dad through Alzheimers and my mum just six months after my Dad passed with terminal cancer. There are 4 of us kids but I was the main one funny really 2 had early retirements but I was working and providing care with careers I was exhausted and in the 6mnth period lost 3 stone I was little anyway so i looked terrible When my mum died I was ashamed If felt peace You should never be soul carer you stop being you Im so sorry this happened to your family My sister now has breast cancer and im waiting to see if I have it too strange coincidence If I do but I won't let loved ones take the strain I will go to hospice if that time comes don't lose sight of yourself your a wife and a mum first. x

Thank you for making this film. I was diagnosed January 2020. Your bravery helps other care givers. Right now, I am doing well. I home schooled our three daughters. But because those seventeen years were with me not working, I never went back to work. Now I have too few points for SocialSecurity help with disability. I have a wonderful family. Some haven't tested. I never wanted to either until I started with such depression and anxiety, But now I take meds for those symptoms, and because I never went back o work, I don't have the worry of not being able to work correctly cognitively. So far, I am walking well, etc.... I am a fall risk and chocking risk though. I use a medical necklace which we are all thankful for. I still drive, but will stop on my birthday and not renew. I only drive one place now,, close to home. As I said, thankful for all you are doing for the community and raising awareness.

Alison, thank you for sharing and what a great partner and mother you are. I adore your strength and wish your husband and daughter all the best as they deal with this horrible affliction x

Isn’t it the case for all of us dear, living as long as we can as well as we can , sometimes we just forget that at any moment we can be Bert and Elise, our brains out of denial refuse to see that, we all have to appreciate life and appreciate living day by day and to enjoy life to its fullest and never to take it for granted.

What an amazing woman. God Bless them all.

Does it skip a generation?

His has chosen us to be caregivers

Cheers to the ones that make a difference ❤

May God bless you all...

Ask God for wisdom and guidance in His Bible and ask Him about your spiritual authority and how to use it. What would Jesus do. Keep talking with God and study Jesus' life and what it was all about. Jesus never turned anyone away from a healing that got in front of Him or even lowered down through a roof. Never give up and never let the dark side convince you certain things are "from God". Jesus bled out for us. Demons know that and don't want us to know what all that entails and gives to us. AUTHORITY.

lovely surroundings

by god you can read the guilt she feels

delightful lady
