Summary
Know what to expect, map out your plan of action, and get ready to embark on one of the most meaningful journeys of your life.
Has someone you love just been diagnosed with dementia or Alzheimer’s? Do worries like not knowing what to expect or how your loved one’s disease will progress keep you up at night?
Perhaps you are caring for your loved one and giving so much of yourself, that your self-care has been left by the wayside.
If you’re struggling with stress, a lack of sleep, or self-care challenges, know that you’re not alone.
Being a caregiver is more than accepting responsibilities and adapting to the changes in your loved one's world.
Although it is a thankless job, it is a great honor; a profound and beautiful experience, that will broaden your mind and touch your heart, more deeply than you could ever imagine.
It is most important to balance your life when caring for your loved one so as not to lose yourself in the process and maintain your health and well-being.
This book will provide practical solutions and guidance to improve your caregiving skills as well as ensure the well-being and happiness of yourself and your loved one. Through real-life stories, you will realize that you are not alone, and this author’s empathetic and compassionate writing style will provide you with the comfort and reassurance to empower you on this life-altering journey. You will be guided step by step through the process of caring for your loved one—from diagnosis to hospice and all stages in between, accessing the most promising treatments available.
Written by a pharmacist and caregiver with over a decade of experience in the field, this book contains all the vital information and insights she has gathered through the years, which will provide you with expert guidance, and inspiration, and will prove to be a powerful source of hope, throughout your journey.

I learned a lot
As someone whose mother had dementia,now she's gone I wanted to understand some of the reasons behind some of the interactions we had had, which I believe will help to keep the memory alive. This book does a very good job of breaking down dementia and alzheimer's, and it gave me a lot of the answers I was looking for. Thoroughly recommend.

Useful knowledge for everyone
This book is full of useful knowledge for anyone dealing with this horrible disease. As we and our parents age, this is becoming all too common to have to deal with. The disease-specific portions like how to cope with the diagnosis, what to expect as it progresses, and how to deal with hospice care is useful but the portions about finances, legal matters, and how to cope with the stress of being a caregiver are essentially universal. If you have aging parents or family, you could get a lot out of this even if they do not suffer from dementia/Alzheimer's.

Great for dementia caregivers
Having recently managed my nans dementia diagnosis, we really needed extra advice regarding what to do next because the choices are overpowering and scary at first. This audio was brilliant at holding our hands through all the important steps that would ultimately save us time, energy and money from making mistakes along the way and our nans comfort was the most important part of that. The biggest chapter for us was chapter 5 - how to find care for our nan that was appropriate for her. We struggled to understand whether we look after her or whether she needed supervised care. This chapter was vital in giving us the strength and confidence to make the right choice for her wellbeing. A must-listen audio for any caregiver going through this with a loved one.

VERY recommended!
This audiobook is so understanding and makes you find peace in the diagnosis you may have with your relative or loved one. Dementia or Alzheimer's may not be easy to handle at first without any guidance and this audiobook gives you all the tips you would need. I really liked how they emphasize that you should not lose yourself in the process. Very recommended.

Essential resource for caregivers
The audiobook is a lovely mixture of personal experience of the author with really well researched information, practical advice that is so helpful when facing the situation of having to care for an elder family member. More than practical advice on how to be the best caregiver you can, I love that the author also included self care practices, emphasizing how important is to care for self before being able to help another.
