Inspirational and compassionate, it focuses on the caregiver's underlying love and humanity that cannot be taken away by any disease.

  • Caregiver wellness—At the end of each chapter, a small section provides relaxation and mindfulness exercises and reflection for dementia caregivers.
  • Practical approach—The back of the book is filled with resources, from financial planning to tips on safety, along with questions for health care professionals, lawyers, accountants, therapists, and friends.
