About this ebook
"A book on dementia with practical advice, I wish I had known before."
Dementia is an illness that generates a lot of confusion and uncertainty. How do you break it to your father that at 75, he doesn't need to go to work anymore because he retired a decade ago? Or that he must give up driving because he has become a hazard on the roads?
Dianca Schüssler is mastering the art of 'sidestepping the truth', gaining a happier father in the process. In her poignant book, she shares her missteps and lessons learned. She delves into the concept of "brain rooms," an accidental discovery that now aids others in engaging meaningfully with dementia patients. This book is also an ode to the caregivers, who sometimes ignore strict rules to make care more humane.
Dianca Schüssler is married with two children, and her father is battling dementia. She is deeply invested in uncovering the best way to interact with those afflicted by this condition. They are individuals with rich life experiences from whom we can all learn a great deal. She is frustrated that dementia patients aren't always treated as full human beings, while she continues to learn from and laugh with her father, embracing who he is now. "I still see the jokester in him."
