A Dementia Love Story
For anyone who is caring for someone with dementia, this book offers a bridge of hope and inspiration as Kate opens up and shares an important chapter of her life with her experience and her mom’s dementia. This book offers encouragement for caregivers to not give up on giving all they can to the one they love, even when the one they love doesn’t know who they are.
Poetry inked on napkins, left beside the breakfast he made for her daily, his last line of defense against the rising darkness of her dementia. Each one of the napkins is covered with the outpourings of a man’s heart.
For anyone caring for someone with dementia, this book is a bridge of hope.
This is a story of love and a love story. A story of what I saw and felt as a daughter when my Mom experienced dementia, and how my father’s love through their 65 years of marriage and courtship proved the definitive weapon against this disease.
This is a story of hope for all who are watching those they lose their memories. It is my personal journey of how I learned that when one is stricken by dementia, the mind and memories are lost and forgotten. However, I witnessed, through the love of my father for my mother, that this disease does not hold power over the memories that are stored within our souls.
If you are the caregiver for one who has succumbed to the disease of dementia, please do not despair. You are doing the right thing. Your love and kindness will be remembered.
I’ve walked this path, and I know this.
