5.0 out of 5 stars Strength For Caregivers, Understanding for CareProfessionals, Jun 16 2005
By L. Copper - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Dementia Caregivers Share Their Stories: A Support Group in a Book (Paperback)
This book offers solace and empathy to the caregivers of dementia patients. It presents the hard truths of this frightening disease from the caregiver's view, empathetically and humanely. From the voices of other caregivers who struggled through the course of this disease come very down-to-earth ideas and comfort for the caregivers who follow.

This book also provides a visceral, powerful understanding of caregiving for all doctors, nurses, assisted-living personnel, etc.,who are involved in the treatment of the elderly. For families of the primary caregiver, it can help them understand the feelings and the enormity of what the caregiver is sacrificing. And for caregivers, it can help them find the strength to do what needs to be done.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book on Care Giving and Dementia, Mar 24 2007
By Steven Clair Barker "LearnLearnLearn" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Dementia Caregivers Share Their Stories: A Support Group in a Book (Paperback)
This book is one of the best books on caregiving and dementia. It gives real life stories and situations that one can really relate to. The authors have done a great job. Each chapter is about a different issue in the life and path of the person with dementia as well as ones about the caregivers. You will see so much of yourself and the person you caregive for in these pages. I gained further insight into what to do in many situations I have encountered as a caregiver. Good stuff and highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Extremely thoughtful and valuable resource, Jan 3 2006
By J. Zuelke - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Dementia Caregivers Share Their Stories: A Support Group in a Book (Hardcover)
I find this book to be a very loving and thoughtful account of the stories of caregivers of loved-ones with Dimentia. It has practical advise on how to cope, where to go for support and even a some comical moments told with the utmost of respect! I would recommend this book to anyone who is a caregiver or knows someone who is. It seems we all know someone with this disease.
