Head On: My Approach to Living with Alzheimer’s is not a story about giving up. It is a story about living. Diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer’s in her forties, Melissa “Missy” Callahan faced a future she never expected. As her symptoms progressed, she lost her career, her independence, and at times even her ability to communicate. Eventually, she entered hospice care, and her family prepared to say goodbye.

But that was not the end of her story. With honesty, humor, faith, and remarkable resilience, Missy shares what it is really like to live with Alzheimer’s—from the confusion of diagnosis to the challenges of daily life, the power of advocacy, and the unexpected gift of discovering purpose in the midst of uncertainty.

Part memoir, part caregiver resource, and part testament to the strength of the human spirit, Head On offers hope, understanding, and encouragement for anyone whose life has been touched by Alzheimer’s disease.
