Hello,
Alzheimer's is a terrible disease that millions of people live with every day. But with this disease it also affects their loved ones besides themselves. It destroys the mind, and leaves not only the person with the disease feeling helpless but also the family member taking care of the person. It hurts deeply when a loved one forgets your name and who you are. It hurts deeply when the loved one with the disease gets angry at you, when you are only trying to help them. Don't forget that there are nursing home out there to help you out. Also there are Alzheimer support groups which are a big help. Don't forget to get on line and look up material to help you out. Places like Alzheimer's Weekly, Alzheimer's Society, OurAlzheimer's.com, TheCaregiversVoice.com, The Alzheimer's Association, Alzheimer's Foundation of America, and Alzheimer's Disease Education and Referal Center to name a few. I hope that my book has helped you with the realization of what it is like and opens up a door to reality to see if you are going to keep your loved one at home or put into a nursing home. Let me know what you decide, and if I have helped you at all.
Sincerely,
Marie Fostino
