One wife\'s Story of caring for her husband with dementia-and the Lessons for caregivers she Learned along the way.
For anyone struggling with the realities of a loved one\'s battle with dementia, Enduring is a reminder that you are not alone..
As Larkin and her husband faced down the realities of his condition, a problem-solving approach kept her focused on finding solutions where possible-while her heart kept her focused on the man she knew her husband to be and the Love they still shared in the face of many obstacles.
A chronicle of the couple\'s journey from diagnosis to passing, her stories-with vulnerability, straight talk, and good humor-uniquely illustrate what it means to be a full-time caregiver for a loved one with Alzheimer\'s disease.
An honest, loving, and unflinching portrait of caregiving, Enduring draws on nine years\' worth of notes, emails, and journal pages written while full-time caregiving at home and while later helping to transition her husband into a memory-care facility.
In Enduring: A Story of Love, Dementia, and Lessons Learned , Larkin shares a chronology of her husband\'s Alzheimer\'s disease and her caregiving approaches, including those gleaned from her support-group friends and experts she met along the way.
After the death of her husband, author Donna Larkin realized that she-and the other women in her Dementia caregivers\' support group-had accumulated invaluable strategies and tools that might be helpful for others recently finding themselves in a similar situation.
