Alzheimers Transformed Nook

No one can dismiss the devastating effects of Alzheimer's--yet Barbara finds herself inexplicably surprised by beauty and hope. Her mother leaves tantalizing clues that, while her mind is deteriorating, her spirit remains strong, healthy, and resilient. Indeed, it seems her mother is slowly being transformed from body to spirit. Barbara watches in awe. These stories, excerpted from Barbara's 465-page book, Elsie at Ebb Tide: Emerging From the Undertow of Alzheimer's, open a door to hope and grace. Readers report they feel transformed, and look at caregiving in an entirely different way.
