A Must-Read for Family Caregivers

When my grandmother started showing signs of Alzheimer's in 1989, when information on Alzheimer's was still very limited, Sharon Fish's book was a godsend. She clearly outlines what to expect as the disease progresses through its various stages and how to deal with it, all written with compassion and from her own real-life experiences with families trying to cope with and understand the realities of Alzheimer's. At the time, I bought several copies and passed them around for all of my family to read, and have loaned my own copy countless times over the past decade to friends facing the difficulty of dealing with a loved one's dementia.
