This review is from: Love Never Sleeps: Living at Home with Alzheimer's (Paperback)

Mary Summer Rain & Sally's personel journey through the process of caring for Sally's terminally ill Mother at home was written with much honesty and integrity.It was a very emotional book,and I had to stop several times and cry.
This book was very resourcful,and was written for caregivers of people afflicted with Alzhiemers.Although I can say from personal experience it applied to other terminal diseaces as well.Apparently not enough information was written for "caregivers"So Mary wrote about the different stages of this disease,and the various symptoms and behaviors associated with them based on examples from thier journey with Sally's Mom.
This was done in a very dignified manor.With Much love and respect,yet didnt sugar coat it.People need to know the REALITY of what its like to live with and care for another with this affliction.This book is a wonderful giveaway and a gift of gold for someone living through this.

This is an excellent book. It came out right when my father was diagnosed with dementia and it has helped me SO much in dealing with him and his decline. This is one of the best books to read when you have a loved one with dementia.
