Me, My Mother, and Alzheimer’s Disease

About the Book

There are a great deal of information in the story of me, my mother and Alzheimer’s disease. Because of the intensity of the story, do not even try to take it all at once. Some of you might found that your life journey is totally different of mine, while some facts will jump at you. Focus on this first .If you found that you disagree with some of the facts, just overlook it- but if you get one exceptional thought out of this story which you can use to improve the relationship between you and your mother, and you have a deeper understanding of how a diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease affects the individual, the children, family and friends and how to choose the best care for your loved one then I feel satisfied.
