EBOOK
About
Alzheimer's' and 'Dementia'... two dreaded words in the English language for what they imply - be it as a patient, a carer or family. 'Frightening', 'Scary', 'Unknown' and 'What do I do?' being follow-up remarks that frequently have been heard by the author.
My Mother Has Alzheimer's - Am I Going Mad? helps to explain through the eyes of The Mater's principal home-carer, her son, Nick, this being a situation that over half a million of us face in the UK alone - and yes, it can be lonely and very challenging indeed.
Facts, advice, a rich narrative, real experiences, sadness, madness, poignancy and humour are all portrayed in what must be one of the best books around when it comes to defining and shaping advice on the linked subjects of Alzheimer's, other similar diseases, and Dementia.
It's a good read too, one that will often leave you shaking your head and then, on the next page, a story or remark that will have you laughing or saying 'Point taken' and help balance life at large when it comes to caring.
Nick's want in all of this: to help convey ideas and advice about what all of this means and lift the lid of the mystique of Dementia - and for it not to be quite so scary but more planned and thought through when it comes to caring for a loved one with Alzheimer's or its associated family of illnesses.
