I just had a baby this week … 6 inches wide by 9 inches tall and an inch thick. A book is like a baby to me because it seems like they take a minimum of 9 months gestation before they're turned loose into the world.
My newest offspring's name is Help Me Cope & Survive! Alzheimer's, Dementia and Memory Loss: Straight talk for families and caregivers. It takes a lot of courage and energy to create these babies, but it takes much, much more to be a caregiver.
Check back here often as I share the stories of real families facing these brutal diseases. Check out the book's official website www.alzhelpbook.com. Help by taking this journey with me.
Monica Vest Wheeler discusses how Alzheimer's disease, dementia and memory affect our everyday lives by illustrating the way stories connect us through human experience and history. Monica focuses on personal and institutional history and how to help fellow human beings cope with everyday life and unexpected challenges. Plus she simply loves to write!
