Powerful & touching! ★★★★★
“This is a must for caregivers. While we all have little time to ourselves, this is a short chapter, easy read. This is a loving and heartfelt life journey of a caregiver. Dementia is cruel and unpredictable. It changes everything. It differs from person to person and there is often no time to prepare for what’s next. The relatable feelings of anger at the disease, sadness, loneliness and guilt for never doing enough, I found myself in tears or smiling. There are many teaching moments and brutal honesty about change. The author shares her personal experience navigating life, family, friends and the medical system while being her Husband’s #1 supporter. I loved this book!” (Amazon)
