Discover a practical and resourceful guide for those journeying through the experience of a loved one with dementia.
Alzheimer's is the sixth leading cause of death in America, according to the Alzheimer's Association. This doesn't even take into account all of the other causes of dementia. While dementia is an isolating disease, it is important to keep in mind that you are not alone. It is vital to not only understand what it is that your loved one is going through and how to help them, but also how to take care of yourself. The signposts along the road—shock, rage, despair—may not bring comfort, but understanding them will help you get to your ultimate destination—release and peace.
This brief yet powerful book will guide you out of your grief experience by offering you an introductory understanding of the disease, tips for helping your loved one, resources for further study, and by reminding you that you are not alone.
