Review: A must have book for understanding dementia - This is a must have book for anyone dealing with a loved one with dementia. It covers every aspect you could imagine (and some you can't) around living with a person with severe memory problems, especially the "stages" to expect and how to handle situations as they arise. The thing I liked the best was it was very reassuring to find out that my Mom was not "crazy" but she had a disease with certain symptoms and that what I was experiencing in dealing with this situation was not unique. It felt like having a good friend in my hands when I was upset and wondering if I was losing it at times. It helps to prepare one for what is ahead so when the next step occurs you are not shocked and can say, "oh, yeah, they wrote about that in the book." That was very helpful for guidance and for understanding that what we were experiencing was a normal part of the disease. I like it so well I bought another copy so I could leave my first one for my Mom's care givers who all were really grateful to be able to read this book. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who has a loved one with dementia of any kind. It will save your sanity!
Review: OUTSTANDING! - I first read this book about 13 or 14 years ago when dealing with my 85 yr old father...who had had a series of mini-strokes and had memory issues. I was out of my depth. While each person experiences different symptoms of aging and memory and different coping/defense mechanisms, I was able to gain much better understanding of the what and why and how to effectively handle daily issues... I just told my siblings to each buy it an read it... as we are now dealing with our 94 yr old mother and 92 yr old step-father. IT IS A MUST READ & KEEP FOR REFERENCE BOOK! I have purchase hard copies over the years to give to people who were struggling with their aging parents and they told me they found it a god-send. It won't reverse the course of events, but it brings forth understanding, strategies of coping and care, and a wealth of information and resources.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Book
*by C***K on January 17, 2025*

This book was wonderful to help me and my family to understand dementia ..how to help our Dad who had it and to understand him best and answers in different situations that would occur. How to not upset him and make him still feel in charge and how to make him comfortable when he would not understand what was going on. I highly recommend it!
