HOW DID YOU FIND ME?: A Memoir of Alheimers

HOW DID YOU FIND ME?: A Memoir of Alheimers

James D. Heintz
4/5 ( ratings)
Read Download
"When my father passed away in April, 2000, my sister and I were
confronted with the clear fact that our mother could no longer
take care of herself. Dad had done such a good job ""covering"" for
her, that the family was not aware of Mom's increasing incapacity. It was up
to my sister and I, then, to determine what was going on inside Mom's body
to cause these changes, and what needed to happen for her to be as safe and
happy as she could be after losing her partner of 62 years.
This book is a very personal account of the time from my father's death to
my mother's death. During these six years, our family worked through lots of
tough decisions, shared lots of memories, and expressed lots of love. We
learned about things we never expected to learn. We did things we never
expected to do. We had to shift perceptions and our roles as we carried out
the necessary steps in helping our mom through Alzheimer's.
Until you experience it yourself, it is hard to imagine how you will feel when
the parent who bore you looks at you blankly and treats you like a stranger."
