Since my parents have died, I have developed a widows’ ministry
of sorts. With my online grocery pick-up, it is not trouble to shop for the
ladies at the local assisted living facility. One dear friend of mine cannot
remember my visits, so I bought a large calendar and ask visitors to sign in
when they come. This pamphlet is very useful in knowing how to react to memory
loss and dementia patients. Information on the stages of Alzheimer’s disease
can be helpful in detecting symptoms early on. The statistics on the disease
and the average life span were new facts to me. There were some very good
suggestions on how to create precious memories. The “What not to do” list has
educated me on the things I was doing that were not helpful. I loved the bible
verses of hope and promise. This is a nicely done reference guide with stories
of real people and their care givers.
A free PDF of this book was provided by Rose Publishing for my honest review.
