If you have met or known someone inflicted with a deadly Dementia or Alzheimer’s and feel you are having a difficult time knowing what to do or say, you may want to read about how this family was able to deal with a situation which could have been much more tragic and unbearable. There is sickness, sadness, grief, anger, crying, feeling of uselessness and just feeling like giving up. But this story also has feeling of great love, understanding, and learning to have fun again by learning to deal with the situation. In this case God had a great part in how this family reacted to the many problems which arose. Without God’s help, love, encouragement, support and someone who was always there when called upon, this would have been a completely different story and ending. *Included in thi s 98 page story is the different types of dementia, cognitive levels and stages along with diagnostic measures, treatments available, other helps and hope.
