Health Conditions : Alzheimer's & Dementia

by Carol Bradley Bursack

The author calls this book "a way of lending an ear to one another." The book is a portable support group, a reminder you aren't alone. Each story about caring for the elderly is self-contained; each person telling his or her story knows your pain in watching a loved one suffer, the joy of giving of oneself, and the emotional and physical exhaustion of the whole experience.
