When Someone You Love Has Alzheimer's: Daily Encouragement

Rating:
Summary: A balm for the weary caregiver
Review: When Someone You Love Has Alzheimer's by Cecil Murphey should be given by every physician in America to each person who learns the news that someone they love has Alzheimer's. Profound in its simplicity.

When Someone You Love Has Alzheimer's is a comforting message of hope for those caregivers and other family members who deal with years of losing a loved one through this insidious disease. Divided into seven sections , this book is designed to give daily encouragement of less than a page. This is important for the caregiver with an already too full place. What I love about this book is the conversational tone that sounds like Cecil and the reader are sitting over a cup of coffee while chatting about a common challenge.

This book doesn't try and fix something, but it does comfort, educate, and let the reader know they are not alone in their struggles. Most of all it lets the reader know that through it all God is there for them. I've added it to my short list of recommended books, not only for those dealing with Alzheimer's, but for anyone caring for someone with a related dementia.
