This is a story about my mom's journey with Alzheimer's and my role as a caregiver. Although I graduated from nursing school and became a nurse practitioner, nothing prepared me for this role! We had many challenges and struggles along the way. Not just my mom, but also me! I have written the story but also have added special sections for caregivers to learn along the way. It offers tips on providing care for various issues such as behavior issues, sleeping issues, eating problems, depression, taking care of bed-bound parents, etc., and also taking care of yourself while caregiving. Caregiving is very hard work! Women who care for Alzheimer's patients are at an increased risk for developing Alzheimer's themselves. Two-thirds of Alzheimer's patients are women! If a wife's husband gets Alzheimer's and she takes care of him, she is at a six times greater risk to develop Alzheimer's herself. I have also included resources for caregivers to find help.

Losing Mom written by Cynthia Ryan and has been published by iUniverse this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2014 with Biography & Autobiography categories.
Author Cynthia Ryan offers a heartfelt glimpse into the experience of losing a parent to Alzheimer's disease. She shares the realities and heartbreak of her mother's experience, one that was both enhanced and complicated by their complex mother-daughter relationship and family dynamics. Shy and distant, but also independent, her mother didn't often find joy in the roles of wife and mother. The trials of a scarred childhood, marked by poverty and an alcoholic father, made true happiness elusive for her mother. On Christmas Eve of 2000, Cynthia started to see noticeable changes in her mother. A devoted grandmother, she had never forgotten to buy presents for one of her grandchildren-until that day. What's more, she spent the day pouting, because the family was celebrating Christmas one day early. Over the coming months, her behavior grew increasingly erratic and forgetful; she became agitated more and more easily. Cynthia finally took her mother to the doctor, where everyone's worst fears were confirmed: Alzheimer's. In this memoir, Cynthia shares their journey of understanding, forgiveness, blessings, healing, and renewed love. She celebrates her mother's life, even as it spiraled out of her control.

"The subject of physical and mental deterioration and its consequences on people and their loved ones is one that most of us prefer to avoid, even those of us who provide medical care to the elderly. Yet, this is often part of the human experience. Information written on the subject is usually dry and didactic. Kathy Stewart has granted the reader access to her world, the assisted living community, where extraordinary needs are met by extraordinary people. Through interesting, illustrative, and poignant vignettes, a realistic, often intense and yet hopeful experience is accorded the reader. This book, crafted professionally and compassionately, is a gem that should be read not only by relatives of people suffering progressive memory loss but by all of us, since many of us will eventually be touched by this situation in our lifetimes." -Mark H. Greenberg, MD, FACR, Rheumatologist, Author of "Doctor, Why Do I Hurt So Much?" "Few events impact an entire family more than the onset of dementia in a parent, spouse, sibling, or close friend. Drawing upon her own personal and professional experiences, Kathy Stewart has developed a practical guide for caregivers. The book is easy to read, yet it provides a wealth of useful information which is accessible to all. It should provide knowledge and comfort for anyone caring for an individual with dementia." -George A. Kuchel, M.D., FRCPC, Professor, Citicorp Chair in Geriatrics & Gerontology, Director, UConn Center on Aging, University of Connecticut Health Center "Kathy Stewart has provided an outstanding, informative, and useful guide. This book is required reading for all adult children and caregivers who seek to provide the best possible care for Mom and Dad. I wish I had this book when my own mother developed stroke-related dementia and needed extensive specialized care." -Elly Trepman, M.D., Professional Associate, Department of Medical Microbiology, University of Manitoba, www.manuscriptsurgeon.com

I was inspired and encouraged by your story." LR Styles, Author"Thank you so much for the note and your memory of my mom." Lois Mushro LeBarre"My mom also had Alzheimer's that lasted nine years. Actually, if she had not fallen and broken her hip, I feel that she would have lived to be 100. I managed her care long distance for those nine years, traveling from Georgia to Virginia every month to check on her and the caregivers, replenish everything in the house, etc. I had made her a promise that I would keep her in her home until she died if at all possible and I was able to do that. Oh, how very hard it was. I intend to read everything you have written about your journey. My mom has been gone for nine years but it is still hard. Thank you for sharing your story."

"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.
