Alzheimer's is a particularly cruel disease. It robes us of the people we love - slowly, subtly, but unrelentingly. our love for them is tested as their needs increase and their recall decreases. Meanwhile our own needs suffer neglect as more of our time an attention is devoted to their care.
Cynthia Fantasia is a caregiver. In this deeply understanding and empowering work she walks you through the landscape of caregiving - for your loved one and for yourself. She introduces you to friends and fellow travelers who offer their own words of empathy and insight. And she slowly, subtly, but unrelentingly empowers you to live well as you care for your loved one in the lingering light.
