Phyllis Brown
R345 Discovery Miles 3 450 Ships in 18 - 22 working days

Theirs had been a love story, a story of friendship, courtship and marriage, beginning when she was seventeen and he was a dashing Navy officer. It was a fairytale that never ceased-even Alzheimer's couldn't come between them. Phyllis Brown relives this one-of-a-kind love she shared with her husband, Bert, in HELP ME I'm Slipping. According to the Alzheimer's Association, there are many signs of the disease. The author noticed some of these signs in her husband, but she completely ignored them at first. A highly successful businessman, a gentle yet hardworking person who never stopped until he accomplished his goals, Bert was adept at hiding his memory loss. But as soon as it was confirmed that he had Alzheimer's disease, his wife went into action. Phyllis may not have been well-equipped with medical information and guidelines, but she was determined to give all her love and support to make the last years of Bert's life as happy as they could possibly be. HELP ME I'm Slipping follows the author's difficult yet rewarding experience as she helps her husband through the uncharted waters of Alzheimer's. From her journey, she shares lessons that she learned with her readers. In each day, she found something they could enjoy together: moments of love, and even fun and laughter. From strategies for helping her husband maintain his dignity to tips on activities that can be enjoyed daily, this book provides a truly inspiring testament to a love that endures.

R436 Discovery Miles 4 360 Ships in 18 - 22 working days

Joe and Wanda found each other in midlife. Deeply in love, they'd just bought their new home when Joe's diagnosis of early-onset Alzheimer's changed everything. "Until death do us part" took on an immediate, deeply personal meaning.

"White Knight "recounts the couple's four-year journey through Alzheimer's, a journey that ended with Joe's death. Initially Wanda, like many caregivers, mourned for the husband she used to have, teetering between despair and panic while she adapted to the couple's new reality.

Then something wonderful happened. Wanda came to a realization that helped her and Joe cope with the daily struggle of living with Alzheimer's. Wanda discovered living in the moment helped her enjoy and cherish the limited time she had left with the man she loved. By dedicating herself to filling Joe's remaining days with as much laughter and love as possible, Wanda found strength and purpose in the midst of sorrow and despair.

Written with heartfelt honesty and love, "White Knight" reveals how living in the moment helps keep caregivers and Alzheimer's patients calm, improving quality of life and reducing stress for all concerned. Wanda's message, simple but powerful, will change how you view Alzheimer's.

R325 Discovery Miles 3 250 Ships in 18 - 22 working days

Live, Laugh, and Love with Dementia is a story of hope and how our family not only triumphed over the trials and tribulations of caring for a family member with dementia but how we grew closer to one another and to God. It was by far the most difficult yet rewarding time of our lives. I dedicate this book to caregivers everywhere, especially those caring for a family member with this horrible disease. This humorous account depicts the realities of dementia. Our family created coping mechanisms which included laughter because laughter lowers your blood pressure. It was only when Mom died that we realized that her seven year struggle with this terrible disease was meant to teach our family lessons of hope, faith, perseverance and unconditional love. I felt compelled to write this book in order to share the legal and medical information we gleaned along the way. In the end, I believe all we have is family and it is our responsibility to care for one another. Today it is believed that 1 out of 2 baby boomers living to age 85 will have dementia. A minimum of 20% of the net proceeds from this book will go toward Alzheimer's research in the hope of a cure.

Dementia - The Monster Within (Paperback, 2nd Standard Color ed.): John Herbert Van Roekel Dementia - The Monster Within (Paperback, 2nd Standard Color ed.)
John Herbert Van Roekel; Edited by Nancy E. Williams; Illustrated by Grace Metzger Forrest
R329 Discovery Miles 3 290 Ships in 18 - 22 working days

Most families have "skeletons" in the closet. For my wife's family, there was a Monster, a type of dementia that robs loving, intelligent individuals of everything-their dignity, their personality, their memory, their finances, and their minds. The "skeletons" are the remains of loved ones after the Monster has finished with them. The family members who are not devoured by this beast are, even so, crippled and maimed by its effects on their loved ones. Little did I know when Evelyn and I married in 1970 that this "Jabberwock" would come a'calling on us. My wife at age 60 is now vastly gone, with no memory of her children, or me, or our life together. To our horror, one of our children has tested positive for the autosomal dominant (inherited) gene that is the pathway for the dementia Monster's entrance. We pray for a cure. Dementia: The Monster Within is not an extensive explanation of dementia, although we show some of the science involved to help give understanding. It is first and foremost the story of our family, along with the stories of a few others who have met the Monster. Our experiences may be helpful in recognizing the initial assault. This book also provides a framework of essential steps necessary to prepare both caregiver and loved one for their futures. Most importantly, if you have been affected by this Monster, you should understand that you are not alone in your struggle. There is an enormous responsibility in giving balance when sharing hope of curing these diseases. It would be unconscionable to offer false hope. Yet, there is every reason to have hope. As we write, clinical trials are being conducted for treatments, but each individual needs to be realistic-not every disease will be "cured" before causing harm to some of our loved ones. Tens of thousands of scientists in hundreds of research facilities around the world are making discoveries about dementia almost daily. Some of these discoveries will lead to treatments, and some will lead to cures of some of the dementias. This enormous investment in research will pay off with dynamic discoveries. We cannot give up hope that the future holds a way to ... SLAY THE MONSTER
