Brilliant and creative, she was an extraordinary woman in every way: teacher, Registered Nurse, entrepreneur, Mensa member, wife, mother and grandmother. Then Alzheimer's came to steal it all away. In this candid and moving memoir, Robert D. Thacker shares the story of the nine years he spent caring for his wife, Sylvia, as she battled this mysterious, debilitating and all-too-common illness. His account is both a beautiful testament to the love of his life and an honest look at the challenges of caregiving. He also offers practical advice for caregivers, including legal and financial issues to consider, how to evaluate long-term care facilities, and how to be an effective caregiver even when your loved one no longer lives at home. For every family facing an Alzheimer's diagnosis, this poignant, informative book will be a valuable resource.
