The stages of the disease, the stages Grace went through, and the stages I went through. This book was written with the desire to share my experiences with others who have loved ones living with Alzheimer's disease. As Grace's caregiver, friend, and daughter-in-law, I wanted to capture the emotions, both expected and unexpected, that came with this journey—the painful times as well as the humorous and loving moments Grace and I shared as a result of the disease.
This is not intended to be a handbook for dealing with Alzheimer's. Rather, my hope is that by sharing my feelings and experiences, readers may recognize that they are not alone on this journey.
