Through Their Eyes: A Guide to Dementia Reality and Behaviors (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798232350192)

Step into the world of dementia with compassion, understanding, and grace.

In Through Their Eyes: A Guide to Dementia Reality and Behaviors, Certified Dementia Practitioner Susie Halim offers an essential guide for families, caregivers, and professionals seeking to understand the emotional, behavioral, and spiritual realities of dementia. Drawing on decades of hands-on experience, Susie blends clinical insight with heartfelt storytelling inviting readers to see beyond the symptoms and into the person still present.

From understanding why a loved one insists on "going home" to managing sundowning, wandering, and emotional outbursts, each chapter provides practical strategies, real-life stories, and gentle validation techniques that prioritize dignity over correction. You'll also find guidance on communication, caregiver burnout, safety planning, faith-based support, and the power of music, laughter, and love in daily care.

More than a manual, Through Their Eyes is a compassionate roadmap, reminding us that dementia care is not about fixing, but about joining their journey. For anyone touched by dementia, this book is a source of wisdom, comfort, and hope.
