Book Description

June 1996 096314412X 978-0963144126 1st
“In this brutally honest and intensely personal diary account, June Lund Shiplett openly shares her emotional turmoil which ranges from bitterness, anger, self-pity, defeat, and despair to strength, tenderness, humor, love, and deep friendship. This book offers both family caregivers and professionals vivid examples of the effects of dementing illness and the comforting realization they are not alone with the emotions that this illness can generate.”

— Chari Weber, former Director of the Nason Center, an Alzheimer assisted living facility, co-developer of the Corinne Dolan Alzheimer Center, Cleveland, Ohio, and an internationally-known expert and speaker on planning special dementia care centers and teaching the staff who work in them.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"Recommended for friends, family and caregivers of all who suffer from dementia.” -- Diane Donovan, Reviewer’s Bookwatch

June and Charlie Shiplett were a fairly typical couple, enjoying life and looking forward to their "golden" years. Multi-Infarct Dementia changed all that almost overnight. Through her honest and heart-wrenching journal kept through her personal and family crisis. June Shiplett shares the confusion and hard times she endured as she lovingly cared for her husband at home for 2 1/2 long years. A Glass Full Of Tears puts a human face on a medical headline. It's a story of love and hardship, a vivid and personal record of the impact of the severe illness of increasing dementia on the home and heart. A Glass Full Of Tears is recommended reading for friends and family and caregivers of all who suffer from Alzheimer and all the other forms of dementia that come unbidden into the lives of good people and is no respecter of persons regardless of their status or standing. Highly recommended. -- Midwest Book Review

“... Shiplett did a fine, sensitive, and honest job.It fills a gaping hole in the market..” -- Audrey DeLaMarte, syndicated columnist

“... helps caregivers understand that they are not alone in their struggles to deal with the symptoms of progressive dementia.” -- Karen McNally Bensing, The Plain Dealer, Cleveland, OH

“I felt as though I’d found a friend who understood my situation as I read June’s book.” -- Mary Emma Allen, freelance writer/speaker on Alzheimer’s and a caregiver living in New Hampshire

From the Author

“I know there are others who are going through what I went through. If knowing you’re not alone and learning from my mistakes will help even one of you survive, then keeping and sharing this journal was worth it.”

5.0 out of 5 stars the most profound book I have read on multi-infarct dementia, August 8, 1999
By 
This review is from: A Glass Full of Tears: Dementia Day-By-Day (Paperback)
As I watch my husband in the subtle and beginning stages of this agonizing disease and read June Shiplett's Glass Full Of Tears, I can only imagine my years of care-giving yet to come. Her log of her husband's vascular dementia is becoming my calendar as well. Most books are written about Alzheimer's and even though multi-infarct dementia is a kissing cousin of alzheimers, there is a behavioral difference. Shiplett is walking me through my days and I wish I could hug her for writing this book...... it seems it is written just for me.

5.0 out of 5 stars a very touching and honest account shared with dignity & lov, February 4, 1998
By 
bmclaren@sprint.ca (Carstairs, Alberta Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A Glass Full of Tears: Dementia Day-By-Day (Paperback)
It is hard to put in writing how the book effected me. It was very moving and helped to understand some of the emotions that we experience when care giving to a loved one. I appreciate Mrs. Shiplett sharing such a private and special part of her life. It is by far her richest Love Story she has written.
