Official synopsis Publisher
This book isn’t meant to be a “How To” guide for people whose parents have been diagnosed with dementia or Alzheimer’s. Nor is it meant to offer any medical advice when confronted with caring for various ailments of the elderly. It recounts my own personal journey through the confusing maze that was my mother’s dementia. I didn’t even know she had it when she first arrived to live with me. I just knew she wasn’t doing well on her own. As I learned how to interact with her, this new and different her, not the mother who raised me, I also was challenged to change my attitude towards my mother, to reexamine my own priorities, and to find a peace that circumstances can’t touch. I hope my story may help others who unexpectedly find themselves on the same journey.
