This book, addressed to carers and loved ones, explores how to handle the difficult emotions involved in looking after a loved one with dementia, such as denial, shame, anger, guilt and grief. It examines the harrowing process of effectively losing a person on a day-to-day basis, and suggests the best ways to maintain psychological health and well-being. Topics include: - Understanding the changes in memory, personality and behaviour- Developing an understanding of personal challenge- Overcoming loneliness and isolation- How family dynamics may affect the caring experience- \"The long goodbye\" - coping with progressive decline- Severe dementia and end of life care- Finding meaning in the experience - is there a \"positive\" side of looking after someone with dementia?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Patrick McCurry\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1847093280\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781847093288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Sheldon Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/16\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.47lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.27h x 5.83w x 0.37d","brand":"Patrick McCurry","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44125470687487,"sku":"9781847093288","price":13.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b4793b38-5928-47dc-bfa5-0a57658571a9.jpg?v=1687442814","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/living-with-the-challenges-of-patrick-mccurry-9781847093288","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
