"If you're caring for a parent who has cognitive problems,
you'll find comfort, sympathy and humor in Fading From Memory" -
Mona Johnson, author of 'The Tangled Neuron' blog.
'Fading From Memory' is a son's personal journal covering the
period 2006-2009, during which his parents are first diagnosed
with, and eventually succumb to, Alzheimer's disease. The journal
follows the family's responses to the progressively more desperate
needs of their parents with humour, insight, compassion,
exasperation, enterprise and, finally, resignation. This book
paints a raw, honest, but at times also heartwarming, picture of
what really happens when Alzheimer's strikes - twice.
The author exhibits a deep and natural curiosity about what is
happening to his parents' minds, how they came to be as they are,
what steps can be taken to alleviate their troubles, and what
choices the family has available. As fast as problems come at them,
the family put up solutions, until eventually they can do no more.
Throughout this very testing time, suffered by all the family, the
author's humour enables him, and the reader, to step back and take
stock, refresh the spirit, and return to the battle renewed.
