My Journey With Dementia: I Just Didn't Understand

by Barbara Andrews

I have written this book in the hope that it may help family members of a Dementia sufferer understand what is going on with their loved one.It is a very hard journey but hopefully, it will help to know many people are in the same position of confusion as you.It was the first time for me and I just didn't understand what was happening in my life.I was told to remember it is not really them which I understand but at the time it is extremely hard to comprehend.I was not told what to expect and I wish I had. Maybe because Dementia has a different effect with each sufferer.

One family's experience with Dementia

An interesting recollection of the declining years of a husband and father. It allows the reader an insight into common difficulties and the emotional rollercoaster of Dementia. I thought it was well written but at times could have done with more detail
