At the time this book was written, the youngest person recorded with Alzheimers Disease was 28 years old. Since I learned about Alzheimers with my maternal grandmother suffering from and succumbing to the disease in the 1980s, the ages of Alzheimers patients have been steadily becoming younger and younger. In my mothers memory care unit was an educator who died of early onset Alzheimers at the age of 53. There is a new diagnosis of Alzheimers every 67 seconds and it is estimated that one in every three people in the United States will have Alzheimers by the age of 85. This disease lasts from 2 - 25 years. If this trend continues then every family in this country will be visited by Alzheimers and the affects on caregivers will also affect this nation. This book is both a personal story of a decade-long journey of caregiving as well as a call to arms for funding and research of this terminal disease.

Download Dear Judy Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
When the author's wife, Judith James, was diagnosed with younger-onset Alzheimer's disease in her sixty-first year, they'd been a couple for close to four decades and together had constructed an enviable life. Her diagnosis threatened to up-end that life by casting them adrift in a territory for which they had no map, no compass, and no foreknowledge. Slowly, by trying and failing and trying again, they would navigate that territory, discovering the scale and scope of the challenges her disease presented and, with love and commitment, figuring out how to hold on to the best quality of life possible.In Dear Judy: A Love Story Rewritten by Alzheimer's, the author reconstructs, honestly and with great sensitivity, their shared experience through the multiple advancing stages of the disease, their accommodation of the successive and accelerating losses and the accompanying grief, and the eventual acceptance that allowed light to dissolve the darkness into which their relationship had been unexpectedly cast. We are privy to some of the most intimate moments in a marriage upended by this disease and by the curve balls it would throw, so often when the author and his wife least expected them. In this unflinching meditation and reflection, we learn that life can indeed be enriched by adversity, and that love can, against strong odds, expand, deepen and ultimately reach its fulfillment.

Download Dear Braveheart Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
Imagine being lost, then found, then lost again. Imagine being giddy in love with a man who is slipping away from you bit by bit. This is the heartbreak that I endured. This is the story of my journey as a caregiver and the route I chose to get my husband and me safely to the end. Research shows that more than half a million Canadians have Alzheimer's disease or related dementia. Those suffering from it lose their memory and ability to think properly. What was more frightening, for me, was the profound changes to Tony's mood and behaviour. As Alzheimer's disease heaped indignity after indignity upon him, I struggled to maintain my equilibrium. My natural optimism took a pounding. I was often crushed, often weepy. Sometimes I gathered my dog and my car keys and was ready to bolt. If you are a caregiver, you will see yourself in this book. If you have just learned that your partner, parent or other loved one has Alzheimer's disease, you will find insight and hope.

Download Day is Ending Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
Description: Doctor Richard Zalar and Trude become more and more real as Day Is Ending evolves from its opening on a dreary, and tragic December 7, 1941 to December 7, 2000, the day of Trude's death. This romance is so moving and meaningful because in many ways it is about those "normal" life events that are common to most of us: the first kiss, the roller coaster of courtship, the proposal, marriage, new life, growth, joy, success--and then, a shadow, an inkling, a doubt that insidiously grows into a heartbreaking tragedy. There is no facile resolution offered here. Dr. Zalar simply asks if he would ever have been able to appreciate the depth of this love affair with Trude if they had been spared the torment of Alzheimer's disease.

Download Dementia Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
Winner of the Michael Ramsay Prize 2016 Dementia is one of the most feared diseases in Western society today. Some have even gone so far as to suggest euthanasia as a solution to the perceived indignity of memory loss and the disorientation that accompanies it. Here, John Swinton develops a practical theology of dementia for caregivers, people with dementia, ministers, hospital chaplains, and medical practitioners as he explores two primary questions: • Who am I when I’ve forgotten who I am? • What does it mean to love God and be loved by God when I have forgotten who God is? Offering compassionate and carefully considered theological and pastoral responses to dementia and forgetfulness, Swinton’s Dementia redefines dementia in light of the transformative counter story that is the gospel.

Download Alzheimer’s and Dementia Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
Individuals or families receiving a diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease, dementia, or brain damage from a stroke face daunting questions: how to provide for care when the patient can no longer manage his or her own affairs, how to protect their rights and property, where to go for help, and how to cope with the day-to-day challenges of fading memory and diminished cognition. Here is a comprehensive guide specifically for aging Nevadans and for family members, professional caregivers, and health care workers who help them. The authors—an elder law attorney and a specialist in geriatric care management—offer readers useful advice from the perspective of Nevada resources and Nevada law, addressing such topics as the legal and financial steps that patients and their families can take to protect themselves and their assets, paying for long-term care, arranging for guardianship, and tending to the details that follow the death of a loved one. This edition, updated in 2011, includes information about recent changes in laws that affect seniors, new research and treatments, and a new guide to resources throughout the state that can provide assistance to people afflicted with these medical conditions.
