Being My Mom's Mom: A Journey Through Dementia from a Daughter's Perspective

By Loretta Anne Woodward Veney

Book Overview

"Being My Mom's Mom" invites readers on my personal journey before and after the onset of my Mom's dementia. Personal vignettes highlight the heartache and humor in this life-changing disease. I offer strategies from real experience for building the best care team for loved ones, increasing one's capacity for patience, and making the most of every day. I confirm the difficulty of acknowledging when it's time to become the "parent of a parent". I also offer hope that loving relationships with dementia sufferers can continue, even in the realization that the past is forgotten, and the future is the present.
