"Your mom got lost on her way back from the nail salon today. She ended up 30 minutes south of town and couldn't remember how to get back home." At this point, we knew Mom's memory problems were severe, so our family decided it was time to move my mother and stepfather back home to Texas from California. This book is a compilation of day-to-day experiences written about our family's journey through my mom's Alzheimer's diagnosis. Using humor and raw emotions, I share lessons learned and mistakes made along the way while caregiving for a loved one living with memory issues. I also provide general information about the stages of Alzheimer's from leading sources coupled with a caregiver's point of view. To provide a personal view of my mother's disease progression, I took a unique approach by adding short video clips using QR code technology. Our family made tough decisions and difficult sacrifices to give her the type of care we believed she needed for 5 1⁄2 years. This book is for: caregivers of loved ones with dementia/Alzheimer's, family members and friends who would like to learn how to support the primary caregiver of people with dementia, and people in general who want to understand typical stages of Alzheimer's.

Staring at Dementia is a tender journal recollection of the author's time spent with his mother during the last decade of her life. Danny E. Akin journals their many visits together in an attempt to capture and record the rapid and extreme changes Mother experiences as she transitions over the years from an independent living apartment to a Personal Care setting and finally to Memory Care. The journal is filled with daily events, Mother's pronouncements, family tales, and the author's personal reflections on the toll dementia takes on both the patient and the caregiver. He shares with his audience the successes and failures of maintaining a close relationship with an elderly family member in decline. Over time, Akin and his mother switch roles, with Akin becoming the parent and Mother the child. Writing about this slow change helps the author make sense of the stressful episodes and gives him a sense of purpose, even as he struggles to make sense of difficult situations and decisions. "As I look back and remember my feelings of frustration, there are times when I regret my anger-even when I tried to see the humor. Wise advice from other writers prompted me to look for the self, the person that remained of the mother I loved. Often, I found it in her kindness and even, at times, in her words." The author's goals for this book is to share the legacy of Mother, a woman who, without fame, wealth, or status, who deeply influenced the lives of her sons, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, extended family, church, neighbors, friends, and retirement home staff. It is also his hope that the book will give others who must travel this road some hope, practical advice, a feeling of camaraderie with fellow caregivers, humor, and the encouragement to write down the stories of their parents before the stories are lost forever.

In 2012, Carolyn Birrell flew down to Georgia to kidnap her mother. Fay had been living by herself since her husband's death in 2000 and clung fiercely to her independence. She went to church on Sundays, paid her bills on time, and volunteered at Vacation Bible School every summer. But at 79 years old, she'd begun showing escalating signs of early-stage dementia, each one making it harder for her daughter to discount as simple signs of aging. After receiving calls from Fay's local sheriff and the Department of Family Services, Carolyn took action. She quickly came to understand the meaning of the adage, "When we make plans the Universe laughs," because hers required endless do-overs as she struggled to keep pace with her mother's ever-progressing disease. This is the story of Carolyn's mother, her dementia, and how they navigated her journey together. Your loved one may not force feed stuffed animals vanilla pudding or burn their neighbor's mail like Fay did, but if you're living through the sad realities of your loved one's slow and tortuous farewell, this book will help you find solace as you deal with it realistically and with a heart at peace.

Dementia is an ugly word that contains beautiful lessons. Lessons of learning compassion even as one witnesses the core of persona slowly eroded over time by the onset of this disease. This is the story of my mother and dementia, and my role as caregiver. It is haunting, heart-breaking and in places, humorous. I hope that for those of you who are caretakers or who have someone who has dementia will find some kind of solace in these pages as we witness the slow descent over time of a loved one, into forgetfulness, and something else, I cannot quite define, something beyond our definitions of what it means to be human. Just because we do not yet fully understand dementia does not mean that it is a meaningless life for those who have it.

“Not buying it, huh?” My mother acknowledged her assertion that the woman she pointed out at the rehab center as being her dead husband was a bit of a stretch. But this was the kind of conversation I had with Mom as her cognitive abilities declined and her psychosis fully bloomed. The true, heart-wrenching, and yet hilarious stories at the center of Dementia Sucks were borne of a journal and blog that author Tracey Lawrence kept as her mother transformed from classic Jewish mother, to mildly forgetful Floridian grandma, to geriatric delinquent removed by police for knife-play at a rehabilitation facility. Really. Tracey’s journey takes her from being an established graphic artist in northern New Jersey through bouts of full-time, hands-on caregiving of both her aging parents. She discusses many of the common challenges families face, and provides a humorous and highly educational perspective on her emotionally charged ride through geriatric illnesses, doctors, hospitals, insurance, facilities, family dynamics, and much more. Anyone who has family members they care about will want to read this book. Whether dementia visits or not, some aspect of Tracey’s caregiving journey will likely resonate with, amuse, and enlighten you. The trick to surviving loss after loss is to find the humor in it all and avoid punching anyone, least of all yourself. This irreverent look shows you the way.
