A Special Guide...One Caregiver to Another

Revisado: 08-29-22

In a soothing voice Ms. Kanzler offers practical advice and encouragement for the caregivers of dementia sufferers as they cope with the uncertainly of their loved ones' futures. Her counsel ranges from the very pragmatic, to the humorous, to the "what not to do," as were all learned through her own firsthand experience as caregiver to her mother.
With a tone of all encompassing love, advice on key practical preparation, and a candid look at the progression of emotions and physical changes that will be taking place, Ms. Kanzler leads the reader along the journey from her mother's diagnosis to her ultimate passing. She speaks in a friendly, kind, gentle way that draws the reader/caregiver into a bond of sympathy...one caregiver to another. It is practical, not clinical, while always acknowledging the dignity of the patient and the needs of the caregiver.
This author also inserts interesting commentary as would have been from the patient's perspective...giving her mother and those with dementia a voice back to those giving care.
The journey through dementia as described in this helpful resource was never sugarcoated, but was presented from the perspective that there is still a lot of life and love to be lived and shared along the way and how caregivers can best navigate this uncertain territory to the best possible benefit of all.
