Alzheimer's Families - Emotional and Spiritual Tools for Coping

Receiving a diagnosis of Alzheimer's dementia can be overwhelming. Having a family member with the disease affects the entire family. In addition to memory loss, there are many more symptoms that go along with the disease including changes in personality, lack of motivation, apathy, changes in sleep patterns, lack of social filters, and wandering. Many of these symptoms are invisible to the outside world so family members often suffer in silence. This book was written to educate family members, their friends, clergy, mental health counselors and psychotherapists, and others that deal with Alzheimer's family members or Alzheimer's patients. It offers emotional and spiritual tools to help families cope.
