Mum has Alzheimers and vascular dementia and is progressing relatively quickly in my opinion. She has always been very proud of sending Christmas cards to everyone she's known in previous times - usually sends c120 and loves receiving them. She isn't in a position to do this independently this year, but doesn't yet want to give up on it - fine, we can help her with everything except the signature. One of the main reasons she doesn't want to give up on it is that many people will probably make the assumption that she has passed away during the year.
Obviously, each year some of her old friends are passing away, and there'll be one or two she doesn't get cards off and suspects they have passed.
Anyway, she wants to put a little insert into her cards to basically say, 'I have dementia and won't be able to send cards after this Christmas. But I would still like to receive them and if you don't get one from me next year don't assume I'm dead!'
Any ideas on tactful wording, or what would be most appropriate to do? TIA
