Shared
Stories from Daughters of Alzheimer’s is a support group in print for
those escorting a loved one on the Alzheimer’s journey.
Nine
women map the passage of a parent through Alzheimer’s disease,
describing the evolution of their own emotional responses to the disease
and the changes it effects in the patient and in her relationship with
family members. The book invites the reader to take a first step in
healing from Alzheimer’s ripple effect by beginning to journal about the
experience.
“Use
the stories here as tools to understand your own painful situation.
Employ them to help you empower yourself, sort through your emotions and
begin to heal. Seize upon that which makes sense to you and disregard
that which seems irrelevant. Then, pick up your favorite pen and
notebook and ‘talk’ about what is going on in your journey with
Alzheimer’s disease. We wish you well.”
-Persis Granger, Editor, Shared Stories from Daughters of Alzheimer’s
“An
enthralling, ambitious and much-needed effort…most definitely the sort
of work on Alzheimer’s that needs to get public notice.” -Karla Morales, People’s Medical Society.

The old grey donkey, Eeyore stood by himself in a thistly corner of the Forest, his front feet well apart, his head on one side, and thought about things. Sometimes he thought sadly to himself, "Why?" and sometimes he thought, "Wherefore?" and sometimes he thought, "Inasmuch as which?" and sometimes he didn't quite know what he was thinking about.
