At first, Ken Abraham wrote off his mother's changes in behavior
as quirks that just come with old age. There was memory loss,
physical decline, hygiene issues, paranoia, and uncharacteristic
attitudes. He soon realized that dementia had changed her life--and
his familiy's--forever.
"How is it possible to lose a loved one while he or she is still
living, still sitting right in front of you, talking with you,
smiling at you--and yet the person you have known and loved for
years is somehow gone?"
According to the Alzheimer's Association, an estimated 5.4
million Americans of all ages have Alzheimer's disease. That's one
in eight older Americans. More than likely, that figure includes
someone you know and love.

will not recover this side of heaven, he suggests many practical
things that families can do to make the experience safer, kinder,
and more endurable for everyone involved.
"When Your parent Becomes Your Child" tells the story of one
family's journey through dementia while offering hope to family
members and friends, that they might better understand the effects
of the disease. Dont let this catch you by surprise--be informed
