The Caregiving Journey: Information. Guidance. Inspiration.
By Debbie Howard
​
The Caregiving Journey goes far beyond the basics of wills and logistical funeral plans–basics many people have in place (especially where children are involved). Rather, you’ll be guided and supported to create a well-thought-out plan for those three, five or even 10 or more years when your loved one needs your help because they can no longer live on their own. With the inspiration, practical steps, support, and tools provided inside these pages, you’ll be well-equipped to guide your family members and loved ones to the end of their lives with love, ease and grace.
Surviving Alzheimer's
With Friends, Facebook, and a Really Big Glass of Wine.
By Dayna Steele
​
With unfiltered observations and sometimes dark humor, author Dayna Steele chronicled her mother's journey with Alzheimer's on Facebook. This collection of Alzheimer's updates posted on the social media network includes biting humor and raw emotion as Dayna carries you from the diagnosis to the inevitable end. Also included are sections from a neurologist, Long Term Care insurance specialist, other caregivers, documents expert, elder care attorney, and an assisted living advisor. This is a journey way too many of us are going to experience in one way or another. If you have to experience Alzheimer's and chances are you will - do it like Dayna with love, wit, and wine.
