Even More Vignettes of Yvette at Vi (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781496960559)

During 2014, Authorhouse published two of my books, Vignettes of Yvette at Vi and More Vignettes of Yvette at Vi. This new book contains even more vignettes of my wife, Yvette, and those words provide its title. Yvette is in a memory support unit at the care center that is attached to a large and elegant retirement home called Vi at Palo Alto. These vignettes are meant to demonstrate that a new life can be created for dementia sufferers-a life that is interesting and enjoyable, contains much beauty, and presents challenges that can make this new life meaningful. Carmen, Marcela, the nursing staff, and I have worked hard and long to achieve these goals for Yvette, and we have had some measure of success. Carmen and I especially have not accepted the oft-given advice to "just make her comfortable" for the very beautiful woman we love so dearly.
