This book is written with obvious knowledge and much love. These stories and the insights that accompany them will be invaluable to current and future caregivers. Great job! -- Trey Sunderland M.D, National Institutes of Health, Washington, D.C. I think this is the best book written on the subject. The authors have done a terrific job in identifying the emotional problems experienced by caregivers. -- Aaron T. Beck M.D., professor of psychiatry, University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine The authors artfully break down the whole of emotional coping into manageable pieces, leaving the reader hopeful and inspired. The book is an eloquent, compassionate guide for the family caregiver facing key transitions in the care and coping process. This book is an antidote to the overwhelming nature of the caregiver's paradox. -- Lisa P. Gwyther, MSW, LCSW, Bryan Alzheimer's Disease Research Center, Duke University Medical Center Almost every caregiver will be able to see him / herself in one of these stories and relate to them because they are so genuine. This outstanding book provides virtual group therapy. -- Dilip V. Jeste M.D, MD, distinguished professor of psychiatry and neurosciences, University of California, San Diego, and former president of the American Psychiatric Association This extraordinary book helps caregivers navigate the turbulent waters of being an Alzheimer's caregiver. Few books pay attention to the caregiver's emotions as their Alzheimer's patient progresses through this devastating disease. -- Kenneth Davis M.D., President and C.E.O, Mount Sinai Medical Center
