Elsie's silent cries

This is an excellent book, written by a very loving and caring lady. It will be of immense help to anybody dealing with an alzheimer sufferer for the first time. Only a person who has been down that path, can tell the story in a way that is both informative, gives warning signs to look for, guidance in care to give, decisions to be made, and at the same time take you on a rollercoaster of emotions, both sad and funny. My mum has been diagonised as a sufferer, and I could relate to all the early symptons described, but I also feel much more prepared for what may need to be done in the future. I defy anyone to read this book without being reduced to tears.

Incredible Journey

A remarkable insight into the entire process and the human side of the disease. I haven't cried in 8 years, but I cried 8 times reading the book, make sure you have alot of tissue beside the bed when you read it!

Wonderful Insight For Coping With Alzeimer's

I was overwhelmed with the thoughts put into words to explain just how families cope with Alzeimer's and how the family came up with not only new and improved coping skills to live by, but to help others who do not have the time to learn by mistakes, to try things and learn how the person not able to communicate responds to new ideas.Alzeimer's patients do know your voice and face even though they can't tell you, and they can feel pain and can tell you, if you tune in to their facial expressions,and noises they make.This book opens your eyes to family love and caring.

It describes how this family coped with difficult moments and how they made their mother's life more pleasant by adapting to her needs.This story truly defines the meaning of giving.
