Customer Reviews

Lovely, heart-rending story...

I assume that most of the readers of this book will, like me, be people who have a friend or loved one suffering from Alzheimers. I bought "Alzheimers, A Love Story" looking for some concrete answers and suggestions, but instead found a lovely, highly personal story of one woman's struggle with her husband's early years with the disease. Although I was at first disappointed, since I didn't find much information about the hows and whys, I am now very pleased that I discovered this book.

This book is wonderful.

This book tells the truth in a profound, moving, beautiful way, and is enormously helpful to anyone in the difficult position of caring for a loved one with Alzheimers. A must read, I kid you not. So helpful in every way - for dealing with the psychological and emotional difficulties, and for the concrete decisions and actions that must be taken
