A Journey of Love

When Rose began her journey as a dementia caregiver, she was unaware of the impact the disease would have on her emotionally and physically. She invites you to walk the journey with her and experience the highs and lows of being a dementia caregiver. Readers will walk away with a greater understanding of the disease.

In her book she discusses common themes of dementia; abandonment by family and friends, anticipatory grief, dementia insensitivity and facility care. Rose believes that building awareness will lead the way to improve standard of care for dementia patients and get caregivers the necessary financial resources, respite, and support that they need. Rose provides invaluable advice and resources at the back of the book for anyone who walks the journey.

The power of the heart over the mind in a dementia patient will captivate you. Despite the loss of memory and knowledge of all things except the room he stayed in, her husband's heart and love remained.
