Alzheimer’s is a particularly cruel disease. It robs us of the people we love—slowly, subtly, but unrelentingly. Our love for them is tested as their needs increase and their recall decreases, and our own needs suffer neglect as more and more of our time and attention is given to our loved one. Cynthia Fantasia is a caregiver. In this deeply understanding and empowering work she walks you through the landscape of caregiving—for your loved one and for yourself. She introduces you to friends and fellow travelers who offer their own words of empathy and insight. And she slowly, subtly, but unrelentingly empowers you to live well as you care for your loved one in the lingering light.

Alzheimer Disease is a silent thief. Day by day it steals our memory - the very thing that tells us who we are, who we are with and how we got to where we are. Without that knowledge we feel hopelessly lost. Lynn Smith shares her story as caregiver for her mother who suffered from dementia in the hope that some of the lessons she learned will be helpful to anyone moving into that difficult role. There are many things she wished she had known earlier in her journey. This is not a medical book about dementia - but rather a personal story of living with it!! As well as her own journals, Lynn has included some of the many notes written by her mother which give a glimpse into the debilitating confusion experienced by a person suffering with dementia. She says, "If what I learned can spare someone else even a small amount of the pain that I experienced in losing my mother inch by inch and agonizing over how to care for her in the process without diminishing her as a person and ensuring that her dignity was honoured, then this book will have fulfilled its purpose."

Alzheimer’s is a deadly disease that progressively reduces a healthy human-being to a person who becomes absolutely dependent on others for each and every daily-chore before becoming bed-ridden and in the bargain, being reduced to a skeleton. Now if that is a perceived to be a difficult journey, well it is the understatement because the care-givers goes through a journey that is even more arduous and difficult. Seeing your loved one going gown the long dark tunnel, that has no end and no chance of any ray of light or hope, can really be devastating for even the toughest individual. The author having gone through such a journey for almost 12 years, has penned down his experiences, suggesting various ways and means by which the care-giver can give a ‘dignified life’ to the affected person while maintaining and retaining own sensibilities.
