Taking care of a loved one with Alzheimer's, Dementia, or Parkinson's, is difficult on the best days. Learn what to expect next and how to deal with it. You'll be encouraged, uplifted, and better prepared after reading Caregiving: How To Hold On While Letting Go. It contains information about signs, symptoms, and stages, as well as spreadsheets to track data and even sample questions to ask the professionals. Caregivers will find inspiration and encouragement to make their day a little easier. Ideas to solve some of the most common difficulties are included, with several options, because one thing doesn't work for everyone. You'll discover inventions we created to make life safer and more manageable that you can easily duplicate in your home. You'll laugh at some of my silly mistakes and gain valuable insight into specific steps you can take to make life more enjoyable and less stressful. This is not a dull textbook, but rather, a friend coming alongside you to share lessons learned. Knowledge came through research, interviews, and many others simply from living the life of a caregiver. I cared for my Dad till he passed of Parkinson's, my mother-in-law till she transitioned from Alzheimer's, and I'm currently the caregiver for my mom, who has Dementia. Sometimes life is not fun, but it can be less stressful, and you can find unexpected blessings along the way. This book makes an excellent gift for caregivers or anyone struggling to understand these awful diseases. It contains real-world solutions to common problems like:

• wandering
• hallucinations
• safety
• hygiene
• dressing
• medications
• anger-management
• and much more.

Caregiving: How to Hold On While Letting Go is perfect for you if you:
