My Years as an Alzheimer’s Caregiver: transcending loss by nurturing spirit.
A valuable reference book for caregivers of people living with Alzheimer’s disease. The book argues that even as the body fails, the soul or spirit remains untouched and can be nourished.
“During the six years that I cared for my husband I discovered that, even as his brain functions deteriorated, his best self could be nourished by spiritual practices and artistic pursuits. Love is the constant that preserves and nourishes the humanity of both the person living with Alzheimer’s disease and the caregiver.”
