Be Nice to Your Mother: The Gift of Alzheimer's

By Priscilla Ronan

When her father was dying, his last words to Priscilla Ronan were "Be nice to your mother. Take care of her when I am gone." And she did. - It wasn't always easy. Daughters often have fraught relationships with their mothers, but Anne was always a little peculiar, a bit of a challenge. Her Alzheimer's diagnosis-after years of odd behavior-brought all of this into stark relief. Not to mention surprising family secrets. - Ronan shares her personal journey of finding peace, love, and forgiveness with her mother, told in a delightful, relatable voice, with empathy-and even humor. Also included is practical advice, such as: - Handling a typical caregiving day - 10 tips for caretakers - Alzheimer's conversation guide - How to preserve your emotional energy - Learning how to deal as the bonds of support and dependency change - Be Nice to Your Mother is a compassionate and caring guide for anyone dealing with Alzheimer's and other types of dementia.
