Publisher's summary

Educate yourself for every step of this important journey you are about to embark on–for your loved one’s sake, as well as your own.

Has someone close to you recently been diagnosed with dementia, and you are worried because you aren’t sure what to expect?

Have you started caring for a loved one with dementia, and you are scared you are going to mess up in some way?

Are you unsure of how to navigate difficult issues that are bound to arise, and this is causing you anxiety and stress?

If so, you are not alone. There are 50 million people worldwide that are affected by dementia, and for each person is a caregiver who felt exactly what you are feeling right now.

What’s more is that, most often, caregivers are family members who are untrained in how to care for someone with dementia.

Many of these caregivers are members of the “sandwich generation” that is tasked with caring for aging parents while at the same time juggling a career and a family of their own.

Combine this with common issues of dementia, like forgetting who you are and lashing out at you for seemingly minor issues, and this new task can seem near impossible.

Great awareness tool for dementia!

My grandmother has been diagnosed with dementia recently. I want to know all the possible things I should learn regarding dementia. Luckily, I've found this book! This book is a great guide for an absolute beginner. It taught me how to be physically and mentally prepared in dealing with and taking care of loved ones who suffer from dementia. I will definitely recommend this to my family and friends!

This is what I needed.

Recently, one of my loved ones was diagnosed with dementia, and it was said that she was already in the early stages of it. This audiobook was exactly what I needed. Listening to the audiobook made me learn a lot about dementia and how to take care of a loved one who's suffering from it. The listen was really informative and the narration of it, made it such an easy listen that I could follow and understand.
