Background: My husband Boyd and I had a 6-year journey with primary progressive aphasia (PPA) that held many challenges for us along the way. This article describes that journey.Aims & Main Contribution: I hope that hearing about our experience may be helpful to other people with a family member who has PPA, and provide clinicians and researchers insight into the PPA journey.Conclusions: I hope that through more research, there can be more understanding about PPA and consequently more support for families with members suffering this cruel disease.
