Sadly, it's the one book we all hope we'll never need - or our family will need!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this information. We're beginning to deal with some memory loss from my in-laws and it is heart breaking. Their's is only minor things and not that often yet thankfully. I'll definitely have to check on this book.
ReplyDeleteMy mother currently suffers from dementia. This book sounds like something I need to read...thanks for the heads up.
ReplyDeleteMason & Missy B- sorry to hear you are dealing with this. definitely check out the book. The most imporatnt thing to remember is to have patience and savor every lucid moment, no matter how small.
ReplyDeleteA week or so, before my grandmother past away, she said to me, "You remind me so much of my sunshine." That is what she always called me. A part of my heart broke when she said that, but a part leapt with joy because she remembered a little bit. At that point she no longer knew anyone but her dog. So you have to hold on to those precious moments.
A tough subject to take on, and I'm sure a tough one to read.
