Professional, Caring, Personal Help to Ease Guilt & Fear

This is the most useful, warm, and accurate book I've read on the painful subject of caring for your loved one (spouse, relative, friend) who is losing their unique humanity to Alzheimer's. It is not cold and clinical, but touches the heart with joyfulness, deep understanding, and compassion. Most of all, it details, point-by-point, the signs of Alzheimer's and the emotionally difficult steps necessary to care for such individuals. It is not a "New Age" feel-good book full of rambling cute stories, but a highly readable book that focuses on specific and reality. The author has a lifetime of professional experience and credentials, and is supported by countless favorable reviews by other eminent professionals in all areas of expertise. This is THE book for average people and even for other professionals who want to understand and deal with one of the realities of growing old. It doesn't offer fantasies or pie-in-the sky cures, but it does offer hope that both you and your loved one can go on living the most "quality" life possible. I brought the book with me to Asia and Europe, and despite the huge differences in cultures, it was very well-received and considered extremely useful by the suffering children of Alzheimer's patients.
