Dementia; a brutal mind field

This is a great resource for those who are dealing with a parent who is mentally challenged. As my mother went into a home yesterday for evaluation, this has hit home. The timing on this book is perfect….i actually took notes. Will listen again and take more notes. Highly recommend.

Living Healthy from Darkness to light

My mom has Dementia, which makes it very hard for her to live life as she dreamed about. Understanding Dementia is crucial because dementia prevents people from living longer. My mom started to lose memory, which made things very difficult to focus on. Dementia is something that starts to destroy their memory, but with the audiobook, I got tips and a lot of knowledge on how to overcome dementia. I learned that there are medicines and things that my mom can do to slow down the illness so they can live as long as they can. The narrator is clear, and it's perfect for the story.

Personal stories add inspiration

The personal stories sprinkled throughout the book add a layer of comfort and inspiration. Hearing from other caregivers who have walked this path reminds you that you're not alone, and that it’s okay to feel both pride and frustration along the way. Their insights are invaluable and bring a sense of community to the often isolating world of caregiving.
