Journal Of An Alzheimer's Caregiver

About the Book

This is a first hand account of what it is like to have a loved on develop Alzheimer's. With the help from my journal I will roll back the years to when I first observed some subtle changes that would eventually change my life and my husband's. Where do you turn when youfeel your life is suddenly shut half down? Who do you turn to hen you have decisions to be made? What happens to your life as you become a caregiver. These symptoms of Alzheimer's range over six years and I believe that other spouses who are in the same position will want to know that they are not alone. Also some people may be wondering iftheir loved one is a candidate for Alzheimer's. Hopefully this will help them.
