Bringing Mom Back From Dementia: One Woman's Journey from Dementia to Increasing Clarity (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780989370516)

About Susan Lake Susan Lake, author of Bringing Mom Back From Dementia, spent the last six years of her mother's life watching her regain her clarity and joy in living. As she shared her story with friends and acquaintances, she realized there was a lot of misinformation about dementia. Especially lacking was information about the possibility of improving or reversing the symptoms. At the urging of a friend she decided to write this book and share her first-hand information to help those who are suffering due to the diminished mental capacities of a loved one, or are worried about themselves. Susan's love of the arts and human development has led her to pursue several ongoing careers. She is a practicing hypnotherapist and teacher/counselor. In the course of her work she has seen many people experience profound awakenings and happy transformations of formerly difficult circumstances. She believes deeply in the vast positive potential every person has within them and uses the tools of her counseling work to help bring that potential into fruition. This belief in possibility was one of the key factors in seeking answers to her mom's issues instead of just accepting that decline is inevitable for the elderly. Susan is, also, a regularly working artist, primarily in art to wear original designs. Her talent for matching color, form, and beauty to express the uniqueness of each person keeps her in high demand. Susan painted the original work, The Tree of Renewal, that graces the cover of her book.
