Shared Stories from Daughters of Alzheimer's is a support group in print for those escorting a loved one on the Alzheimer's journey.
Nine women map the passage of a parent through Alzheimer's disease, describing the evolution of their own emotional responses to the disease and the changes it effects in the patient and in her relationship with family members. The book invites the reader to take a first step in healing from Alzheimer's ripple effect by beginning to journal about the experience.
"Use the stories here as tools to understand your own painful situation. Employ them to help you empower yourself, sort through your emotions and begin to heal. Seize upon that which makes sense to you and disregard that which seems irrelevant. Then, pick up your favorite pen and notebook and 'talk' about what is going on in your journey with Alzheimer's disease. We wish you well."
-Persis Granger, Editor, Shared Stories from Daughters of Alzheimer's
"An enthralling, ambitious and much-needed effort...most definitely the sort of work on Alzheimer's that needs to get public notice."
-Karla Morales, People's Medical Society
