Summary
Mary K. Doyle has written a poignant but practical handbook for Alzheimer's caregivers that will enlighten anyone touched by this debilitating disease. She offers straightforward guidelines for caregivers and their families, important lessons she learned in the eleven years she has been caring for her beloved husband, Marshall. She writes frankly about: recognizing warning signs of Alzheimer's; understanding the disease's typical progression; managing conflict with family and friends; the importance of caring for yourself; the emotional, physical, and financial costs of caregiving; and how, when, and where to find help-including sound advice on making the critical choice among assisted-living facilities when that time comes. With her storyteller's gift, Doyle puts the reader squarely in the shoes of a primary caregiver. While describes the challengers of caregiving with unflinching candor, her irrepressible personal warmth shines through as she reminds us to embrace and cherish those moments of intimacy and joy that remain
