About the Author
Jean Mack Pitzer grew up in Blair, Oklahoma, and moved with her husband, Gordon Pitzer, to Texas in 1950. After Gordon died at the end of his six-year struggle with Alzheimer's disease, Jean decided to share their experiences with others who might benefit from these special and often sad memories. Where both of them used to volunteer, Jean now tirelessly continues her work in her church and community, while maintaining a remarkable bond with her two sons, her entire family, and innumerable friends. She received the 2006 Humanitarian Award for volunteerism at Medical Center of Arlington.

Jean Pitzer has written and very practical and helpful guide for friends and caregivers of patients with Altzheimer's Disease. I highly recommend this book. It is encouraging and insightful information from a woman who has experienced this difficult situation in her own life.

Living the author's journey,
This review is from: You Too Can Survive: My Journey as an Alzheimer's Caregiver (Paperback)
My wife and I had the privilege of knowing and loving Gordon and Jean Pitzer during this crisis period when Gordon was ill. When Jean decided to journal her account to make sense of it all, we, along with others, encouraged her to put it into book form. Then, she and my wife, word by word, edited it and a publisher picked it up. It is an explicit account of what both an Alzheimer patient lives and what his caregiver endures. Anyone in this situation will find value in Jean's poignant, reflective experience and come away with a sense of hope.

This is a moving account of what families go through with this illness. It shows how important a support system is and the best way to utilize that support.
