Front Line Alzheimer's (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780244114701)

Tom retired at 67, looking forward to years of travel and fun with his wife Margaret. Then came Alzheimer's. It could happen to any of us. Tom is just one of the global millions of home carers looking after loved ones stricken, in later life, with Alzheimer's and other terminal diseases. In this second edition of his book Tom, now 88, continues his phlegmatic account of 16 years 'hands on' caring for his wife at home, until she passed away. He separates the practical challenges he encountered from his grief over her descent into almost total incapability. This sometimes harrowing tale of love, devotion, loneliness and distress describes a carer's lifestyle, with glimpses of humour, hope and personal fulfillment.
