This is a personal experience I had and hope these small testimonies of what I saw and how I saw this serious disease. I also felt that I really was walking alone. These are things that I went up against in my learning and my experience in talking with people and just being around the disease itself. I don’t proclaim to be a doctor. These are just based on my own care giving experiences. I hope it will help others to read this and guide them and help them in just one aspect of the walkthrough with this disease. I dedicate this book to my mother, whom I love very, very much.

Alzheimer’s Disease

In the first chapter, we are going to speak about the beginning stages and what the caregivers are to expect during that time. And keep in mind that each patient with dementia and Alzheimer’s is vastly different from the other, even though they are the same it just depends on what part of the brain the actual disease is affected, which can ultimately affect what type of affects it will have on the type of care giving that’s needed and what the expectancy of their life in general.

Some cases can be very subtle, especially in the older people. The younger generation seems to be hit harder. One thought is
