Publisher's Synopsis
"Just Mom - A journey of love and laughter" is an unforgettable memoir chronicled by a daughter-caregiver as her mother navigates the muddy waters of Lewy-Body Dementia. The pages are punctuated with the daily laugh-out-loud, off-beat, often dark humor of Ruth (Mom) as she bravely faces uncharted territory. It is truly a journey of love and laughter. This book shines a light on the benefits of a holistic approach in caring for loved ones, particularly those with progressive memory or neurological diseases, while also providing an honest look at the ups and downs of caregiving. It is a "must read" for caregivers and family members of dementia patients or aging parents. There is also a very helpful chapter dealing with grief and loss that provides a rare look at the impact felt by the death of a parent. This book will inspire anyone who has loved ones who require a helping hand or heart. Even though "Just Mom" deals with a very serious topic, the laughs are plentiful. It's the perfect little book for travel, gift-giving, or enjoying with a cup of coffee. The formatting makes it easy to read little snippets as time allows. Perfect for busy caregivers.
