The Girl, The Stare and The Spider gives a paradigm for addressing
grief among families of persons that have dementias such as
Alzheimer's Disease, also called AD. Written like a fairy tale, the
story gives an amazingly accurate picture of the beginning and
progress of AD. The spider is a metaphor for the frightening
illness. The star reminds us that suffering and loss at the end of
life are often part of a larger story for each of us, and that a
love shared lives on. This Memorial Edition features powerful full
color paintings. These illustrations of the child-like story make
the book one to be treasured by loved ones experiencing significant
emotional pain. The book includes Questions for Reflection and a
list of organizations and websites that families dealing with
dementias like AD will find valuable. People facing Alzheimer's may
find the literature on this topic to be overwhelming at a time that
is frightening and painful. This book offers comfort in the form of
a simple story like those from which we learned as children.
