Book Synopsis The Caregiver's Guide to the Universe by : Renee Pirie
Download or read book The Caregiver's Guide to the Universe written by Renee Pirie and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-02-08 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Caregiver's Guide to the Universe is a narrative revealing the humorous and unorthodox methods my father used to care for my mother after she developed early-onset Alzheimer's disease in her late forties. Although he was uneducated and semiliterate, he used his superpowers to care for her 24/7 for over a quarter of a century before her death on the outside finally caught up with her death on the inside. As she metamorphosed, he kept his love alive through music and teenage love notes. He survived tragedy as a teenager, tragedy with his cherished wife, and somewhere in between, he taught my siblings and I the true meaning of life by weaving across the lines between reality and dreams. According to the Alzheimer's Foundation of America (AFA), over five million Americans have Alzheimer's and one to four family members act as caregivers for each individual with the disease. The Caregiver's Guide to the Universe fills a much needed niche being a true story of an ordinary man in love with the memory of someone without one. Wildly popular novels on Alzheimer's such as Still Alice and The Notebook continue to fascinate readers. The true love story portrayed in this memoir will not only fascinate them, it will inspire them.

Book Synopsis An Unintended Journey by : Janet Yagoda Shagam
Download or read book An Unintended Journey written by Janet Yagoda Shagam and published by Prometheus Books. This book was released on 2013-07-16 with total page 430 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: According to the 2009 census, more than five million people living in the United States have Alzheimer's disease or some other form of dementia. Not reported in these statistics are the fifteen million family caregivers who, in total, contribute seventeen billion hours of unpaid care each year. This book addresses the needs and challenges faced by adult children and other family members who are scrambling to make sense of what is happening to themselves and the loved ones in their care. The author, an experienced medical and science writer known for her ability to clearly explain complex and emotionally sensitive topics, is also a former family caregiver herself. Using both personal narrative and well-researched, expert-verified content, she guides readers through the often-confusing and challenging world of dementia care. She carefully escorts caregivers through the basics of dementia as a brain disorder, its accompanying behaviors, the procedures used to diagnose and stage the disease, and the legal aspects of providing care for an adult who is no longer competent. She also covers topics not usually included in other books on dementia: family dynamics, caregiver burnout, elder abuse, incontinence, finances and paying for care, the challenges same-sex families face, and coping with the eventuality of death and estate management. Each chapter begins with a real-life vignette taken from the author's personal experience and concludes with "Frequently Asked Questions" and "Worksheets" sections. The FAQs tackle specific issues and situations that often make caregiving such a challenge. The worksheets are a tool to help readers organize, evaluate, and self-reflect. A glossary of terms, an appendix, and references for further reading give readers a command of the vocabulary clinicians use and access to valuable resources.
