Coping With Caring: Daily Reflection for Alzheimers Caregivers

FROM THE PUBLISHER

Coping With Caring is written for the caregiver who cares for a loved one with Alzheimer's disease or a related disorder. Each page provides an inspiring daily reflection, followed by a related caregiving tip. Designed for daily use, this unique volume serves as a support group, a place where you can feel supported and understood.

The book can be read in three ways:

As a year-long source of daily help and inspiration. There are 365 dated pages). As a look at the typical progression of Alzheimer's, since its journal-like entries begin with the disease's early stages and end with more serious challenges; and As a reference book, since a 10-page index gives someone facing a particular problem (e.g. wandering, oral hygiene, sundowning) a way to revisit all the related suggestions.

Refer to the handy index to find immediate help with the concerns, feelings and challenges you encounter. Don't limit the book to just one year of use. You can return to Coping With Caring again and again to discover new insights which will help strengthen you during the caregiving journey.
