Alzheimer's Disease Support Group

I have just published a book and it is now up on Amazon.com. It is called "Reflections for a Caregiver".
This book helps caregivers, especially those caring for someone with Alzheimer’s or related dementias to work through the many problems they face daily. It also provides inspiration and validation while providing them with the comfort of knowing that they are not alone and they are doing a great job.

I was the Regional Director for the National Alzheimer’s Association in Southern California for seven years. Through my work with caregivers, I recognized that there was an over-whelming need for daily support and encouragement. This inspired me to publish a book for caregivers that would offer them the knowledge and comfort of knowing that they are not alone.

As many as 5.2 million people in the United States are living with Alzheimer’s. According to the 2008 Alzheimer’s disease Data Report, 10 million baby boomers will develop Alzheimer’s in their lifetime. Each one of them will require someone to care for them. These caregivers often feel alone and they are in great need of support. It is my hope that this book will give them the courage to reach out and ask for the help they need.
Maya Angelou says, “The idea to write it is so that people will hear it and it slides through the brain to the heart”. It is my hope that this book will do just that.

If you are a caregiver this book will help you get through the toughest days.
