Empowering!

Must listen for anyone on the overwhelming journey of caregiving for a loved one. This book not only taught me how to spot the early signs of dementia and navigate the complex diagnosis process but also armed me with practical day-to-day care strategies that prioritize both my loved one's and my own well-being. I particularly appreciated the advice on mindfulness and yoga to manage my stress levels. This guide has truly empowered me to approach caregiving with more confidence and compassion.

So helpful!

This book was so helpful! It's amazing the number of hurdles you face when your loved one is losing their mental competence. I needed to get a Power of Attorney and make all the medical and financial decisions for my mother, while still respecting her beliefs and needs, and keeping my sanity. This book is a lifesaver! I've relistened to several parts just to make sure I'm prepared for meetings with doctors and state employees.
