One year shy of her fiftieth wedding anniversary, Dee Hershberger
was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. Her husband, Bob, serving
as her primary caregiver, kept a journal the following four and a
half years. Diary of an Alzheimer's Caregiver provides an
unflinchingly honest and heartbreaking account of what the couple
went through. During the first two and a half years, Dee gradually
lost short-term memory but maintained most physical and social
abilities. Over the last two years she lost these abilities, most
words, and long-term memory. She also became incontinent, suffered
from undetected illnesses, and experienced psychotic episodes and
uncontrollable, violent behavior. This is a brutally raw look at
what it is like to lose a loved one to Alzheimer's, including what
the disease does to the patient and the effects it has on loved
ones and caregivers. This personal view into caring for a spouse
with Alzheimer's will help readers understand the physical,
emotional, and financial consequences of the disease, as well as
provide support, advice, and hope to anyone in the same situation.
