Come Sundown: Losing a Loved One to Dementia

By Brenda Irish Heintzelman J.D.

COME SUNDOWN is a series of five books written based on the true and sometimes frightening story of one 89-year-old man's journey with undiagnosed dementia, and the younger woman's life he nearly destroyed along the way.

He never meant to harm her.

Quite the opposite, in fact.

He was always very protective of her.

She was the daughter he never had.

And he, a friend of her father's, was the dad she wished her own father had been.

For fourteen long years the two of them shared a family bond - one borne of the mutual desire to help each other heal from the traumas each had suffered in the past - and to help protect each other in the future.

Their twelve-year-old Jack Russell terrier joined their makeshift family when he was a one-year-old puppy in need of a safe and loving home.

They were like father and daughter - with him pushing her to succeed, and her pushing him to "Move it or lose it" each morning after he suffered a major stroke to his frontal lobe.

There was just one problem - a very crooked church trustee - who started to prey upon the older man immediately following his wife's tragic death - and who continued to prey upon him for the next fourteen years straight.
