Overview

"Caregivers would benefit from this read. This is a moving, inspirational personal journey into Alzheimer's disease. Gerry has incorporated many techniques with a gentle loving approach to address complications arising from crippling disease. Her diary excerpts are real and honest. This book is not only emotional, truthful and educational; it expresses the bond and undying love between mother and daugher. Caregivers must read it. It is a powerful book." -Twyla R. Proud. R.N. From the author: My title refers to the journey Mother and I took into the world of Alzheimer's. As I listen to others talk about their experiences, they also refer to it as a journey. In many ways that word accurately describes the experience. When you start out on a journey, you often meet many obstacles-twists and turns in the road-many joyful and some not so happy events occur. Much the same happens when you care for someone with Alzheimer's. The road ahead is unknown-sometimes scary with many bumps, twists and turns, and sometimes precious and breathtakingly wonderful. I hope somehow that because of this book your experience may be less scary and much more precious.
