Joy also comes in the morning
SACRIFICIAL LOVE Each chapter tells the tragic story of a woman whose mind is breaking; whose switches are shutting down, one by one; and of the daughter whose unswerving commitment bears the brunt and the blame for everything which happens. Brenda's book is truly about exactly what she says in the beginning `Learn from my mistakes; know that you are not alone; and most of all, cherish the time you have left with your loved one'. These words come from great wisdom, borne out of harsh experience and unfailing love; calling out to those who follow behind her in their own journeys. If you want to know the truth, read this book. Within its covers, the `way in the wilderness' will become obvious to you. Brenda lived it - with her heart's intent being that you might be spared and enlightened as a result of the words which she penned.
A profound, personal testimony
I couldn't wait for morning... |

A thorough, insightful, and timeless guide
Excellent Manual!
The most comprehensive "how-to" book -PT. Advocacy PLUS!! I am about to start an Alzheimer's Support Group for patients in theearly stages.While I was pleased that I was chosen by our localAlzheimer's Association; I was somewhat paralyzed at first by how to do it. This is from someone who has done psychotherapy with individuals,families and groups for over fourteen years.The focus of most Alzheimer'sDisease care has been support for the caregiver.I must admit I couldn'tthink about doing a suport group for patients until some recentinterchanges with patients about their driving...or not driving. Ofcourse, I can lead a group of people with early stages of Alzheimer'sDisease.I interview these people in my clinic all the time and have notrouble there. Robyn Yale has given me a template.I intend to use asmuch information of this book as I possibly can. Thanks to Amazon, I hadthe book in three days of finding the reference. ... Read more |

Editorial Review Product Description Despite its ubiquity, the malady was, until recently, considered a"backwater disease" to which little research attention (and funding)was paid. Advances in gene research, some spearheaded by neurologistRudolph Tanzi, have led to a new understanding of the causes ofAlzheimer's disease, and new possibilities for its cure. In thiswell-written account of that research, Tanzi and journalist-co-authorAnn Parson examine the role of amyloid neuritic plaque, "mucked-up,misfolded protein that fibrilizes and forms rock-hard aggregates thatthe body can't get rid of." This plaque occurs in humans and certainother carnivorous species (including bears and dogs), and it appearsto play a role in neurologic disorders of several kinds. Tanzi reportson recent studies in the use of cholesterol-reducing drugs inlessening levels of "brain dirt," as well as on research that suggeststhat cardiovascular exercise and a diet low in animal fats can benefitthe brain as well as the body. He even cautiously hints that theconquest of Alzheimer's may occur in the very near future. For thetime being, his book provides a thoughtful portrait of the illness andof the scholars and scientists who have devoted their lives tocombating it.--Gregory McNamee Customer Reviews (20)
