There are four kinds of people in this world: those who are currently caregivers, those who have been caregivers, those who will be caregivers, and those who will need caregivers.
“A caregiver’s journey through Alzheimer’s” is written for current caregivers and those who will be caregivers, with the hope that by sharing our story you will be better equipped to cope in your journey.
The paths of the victims of this disease, as well as the caregiver’s path may differ for each. However, there are many similarities you will be able to relate to, as I did when fellow caregivers shared their experience with me.
“A caregiver’s journey through Alzheimer’s” is a story about love, companionship, and devotion. It’s a story about a couple joining hands and hearts to go the distance in a difficult fight against an insidious disease. Hopefully, you can get in touch with your own journey and deepen the awareness of what it implies.
