Journey Through Alzheimer's: Compassionate Caregiving

“Caregivers would benefit from this read. This is a moving, inspirational personal journey into Alzheimer’s disease. Gerry has incorporated many techniques with a gentle loving approach to address complications arising from crippling disease. Her diary excerpts are real and honest. This book is not only emotional, truthful and educational; it expresses the bond and undying love between mother and daugher. Caregivers must read it. It is a powerful book.” —Twyla R. Proud. R.N. From the author: My title refers to the journey Mother and I took into the world of Alzheimer’s. As I listen to others talk about their experiences, they also refer to it as a journey. In many ways that word accurately describes the experience. When you start out on a journey, you often meet many obstacles—twists and turns in the road—many joyful and some not so happy events occur. Much the same happens when you care for someone with Alzheimer’s. The road ahead is unknown—sometimes scary with many bumps, twists and turns, and sometimes precious and breathtakingly wonderful. I hope somehow that because of this book your experience may be less scary and much more precious.
