This book will make a wonderful gift for a friend or loved one caring for an AD patient at home. It offers a daily dose of much-needed encouragement. Roche puts great emphasis on the caregiver nurturing his or her own physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. The practical daily tips offer suggestions to help lighten the load.

Coping with Caring is a user-friendly book that offers tips to simplify everyday life for stressed caregivers.

Small enough to tuck in one's pocket, this book can be pulled out when a friend is needed. A friend who will understand the demands as well as the joys of caregiving.

A handy 10 page index is provided for quick reference to over 200 challenges caregivers might encounter such as wandering, sundowning, caregiver stress, anger and so on.

"Roche's volume is a hot bath after a long frustrating day. She lived through her father's Alzheimer's; then her mother-in-law endured the same losing battle. Lyn's goal is to offer a pat on the back, a boost to morale, a cup of loving kindness to those undergoing the same thing."

This useful book is written for caregivers who care for dementia loved ones at home; many professional caregivers are also finding the book helpful and insightful.
