Alzheimer

This book is about a truly remarkable daughter who not only took care of her aging mother but has been faced with challenging family affairs, trusts, Alzheimer's Disease, lawsuits, and the Lord's Grace. "Human relationships are the most difficult inclusions in our lives. I call them inclusions because we have to have them from birth or die. Mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, cousins, aunts, uncles, and grandparents can cause us joy or grief. If we focus on human beings for our worth, appreciation, love, purpose, and all other quests to fulfill life as it continues, we will undoubtedly uncover loss, pain, and hurt. This isn't God's plan, however, that we experience negativity through relationships. He wants, instead, for us to see and hear Him all about us every day; He wants to be our "audience of One." He wants to be our all. When we get ready to leave this place we mistakenly call "home," we will step into the real world, where relationships will flourish because they are not tainted with sin. Until that time, He asks us to trust Him. Perhaps before eternity reveals itself to me, I can reach out to my siblings. They feel no remorse or need to be forgiven, so I will continue asking God, the One who reveals Himself daily, to soften their hearts and save them. Being in the mental state Mom had been in might have given her the ability to forget hurts, or maybe not. I can't forget yet. I want to, but I can't. If, by any chance, you experience a loved one withAlzheimer's, or you are appointed as trustee and are sued in the end, I pray that in some way, my story will encourage you to look, as I am still looking, at His presence in all the gifts He gives so freely every day."

The Marilyn Chronicles was written for one single person, the love of my life. She, this woman whom I married sixty-three years ago, is now suffering from late-stage dementia, and I am her care giver. In an effort to better understand the disease and what it is doing to my wife, I have researched, documented and built in advice to anyone who might become involved in the preservation of dignity and passion which remains in the mind of the person afflicted with the disease. The portrayal of the inevitable march toward finality is a literary approach done as a tender tribute to a remarkable woman, and its message serves as a beacon to those who want to understand and care for the person afflicted with the insidious disease called dementia. This book is my love story.

Alzheimer's disease is a disorder of the brain which impedes thinking skills and damages memory. It is considered to be progressive and irreversible. Some of the major features of Alzheimer's disease are amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles in the brain. There is also a significant loss of connections between the brain's nerve cells. With the progress of the disease, other parts of the brain are affected and the brain tissue shrinks considerably. Some of the symptoms of this disease are memory issues, compromised reasoning and issues with vision. There is no known cure for this disease, however; there are numerous treatments available which can help in the management of symptoms. This book contains some path-breaking studies on Alzheimer's disease. It discusses the fundamentals as well as modern approaches of research within this field. This book will provide comprehensive knowledge to the readers.

In Felicia Mitchell's moving and insightful poetry collection, A Mother Speaks, A Daughter Listens, we're invited to share one mother-daughter dementia journey from the early days of a woman's life through years in a nursing home and also the emotional transformations that continue after a loved one's death. These poems, some created from the mother's words and all from the daughter's heart, invite us to see Mitchell's mother Audrey as a complete, albeit changed, woman at the close of her life-and also how the depth and complexity of Mitchell's love for her is enriched by understanding what remains, and remains transformative, even as a brain changes.

In the Eyes of an Alzheimer's Patient is a biography of two people who overcame a humble existence to climb what they called "the wall of happiness" only to have it crumbled by the demon Alzheimer's. The author began as a shy boy with little financial status who was predicted by his high school classmates to lead a tragic existence. His personality dramatically changed when he met and married a very socially active girl, Mary, whose high school classmates voted her as the female who had done the most for her high school. Their union and her constant encouragement led to Gene's successful career at IBM. She not only influenced him but also kept him protected from most burdens. Eventually, she convinced him to join her in becoming a swimming coach. Their dramatically different personalities melded them into what would be a perfect coach if these qualities were in one person. Starting out as a hobby, they produced not only nationally ranked swimmers but outstanding adults as a result of their role model relationship.Alzheimer's crumbled that wall of happiness and led to a dramatic change in their previous roles of husband and wife. The book uniquely shows the risk to the caregiver. Not only was there the tragedy of the disease affecting the patient but also the struggles of the caregiver taking care of their loved one.The wife is the spiritual author of their life story. When she disappears into the depth of Alzheimer's disease, the toll on the caregiver almost causes the end of his life before the patient. Woven through the narrative is the strength of their love story, which is no better described than in the quote: "Love is stronger than death."

At the age of sixty-nine Nigel Murray, a retired university lecturer and former Army officer, was diagnosed with dementia. Doctors suspected he was suffering from a rare and degenerative neurological disorder known as Multiple System Atrophy (MSA). However, Nigel also had many of the symptoms of both Parkinson's disease and Lewy Body dementia and an official diagnosis was never made.For four years Nigel's wife, Eileen, kept a diary. This was her "safety valve" - an outlet for the daily stresses of caring for him at home, as his mental and physical health slowly deteriorated. In her diary she gives a frank and detailed account of his challenging and erratic behaviour, his bizarre hallucinations, the relentless struggle with his incontinence and the endless disturbed nights.Even in her darkest moments, Eileen's dry Scottish humour shines through - you will laugh one moment and be moved the next. You can't help but smile at Nigel's trousers with the "appetite mechanism" and his special "anti-dandruff comb".As the dementia advances, Nigel retreats into a busy world of army and lecturing duties, harking back to his earlier days. Eventually, the burden of running her own "one-woman nursing home" becomes too much for Eileen and her quest to find respite care begins. This presents challenges of its own.This true and touching account offers a unique insight into the day-to-day experience of caring for someone with dementia or a related illness.Some Amazon Five Star Reviews:¿¿¿¿¿ Excellent - a great read¿¿¿¿¿ Loved it¿¿¿¿¿ Very eye opening¿¿¿¿¿ Brilliant book¿¿¿¿¿ Sad but a good read¿¿¿¿¿ A gem¿¿¿¿¿ Five starsAlso Now Available in Large Print (ISBN: 9781914523182)

Three factors have motivated the author to write this book: his intimate 32 years of experience with Alzheimer's disease (AD) victims, the fact that his research revealed that no single brief document exists to guide persons over 60 in developing effective strategies and measures to significantly delay the onset of AD and the fact that only about two percent of those over 60 years of age have any awareness of the life-destroying threat of Alzheimer's. Therefore, the author has put together this comprehensive guide. Considering the explosive projected increase of AD from the current level of 5.3 million Americans to more than 10 million by 2025, there is a critical need to educate those over 60 about this deadly and enormous threat and get them to adopt the strategies and measures in this book to delay the seemingly inevitable onset of Alzheimer's disease.

Farewell To My Companion recounts the trials and tribulations faced by the author, when caring for her husband, a patient with Alzheimer's Disease. It highlights the doubts and the dedication involved and it is written with love and that sense of obligation inherent in such a task. This is the personal journey of a wife's care for her husband, once a journalist and successful politician, now a victim of Alzheimer's Disease. Apart from a brief introduction to their past as a couple, it concentrates on the final years of his illness, on the terrible memory loss which affected their relationship. It delves, too, into his medical care and hospital treatment, but most of all, into the doubts and intricacies of his wife's emotions as she confronts his end and the knowledge of her solitary future. It is a book written with the aim of sharing with others who might be passing through a similar experience, in the hopes that it might encourage them and offer them a friendly hand.
