"Caring for a Loved One with Alzheimer's: The Truth" is the memoir covering the episodic scenarios and events Judy and I experienced tracked through the seven stages of the disease. This is the I sought but couldn't find when my wife, Judy, was diagnosed with Alzheimer's in 2013. This memoir is intended to help newbie caregivers prepare mentally and perhaps psychologically for the challenges ahead. This memoir also tracks the emotional bond between Judy and I formed in the earliest phase of our relationship and the resentment that the stress from long-term caregiving coupled with isolation focused on daughter, Suzanne, and came a climax toward the end.All Rights Reserved

NAVEL GAZING: excessive absorption in self-analysis or focus on a single issue by ANMS111

-A Lie I decided to focus on family, choosing to believe and have faith that everything else would fall into place. I wasn't comfortable-or good-at lying to her. So, when Samantha surprised me one day by swallowing her pride and asking directly if anything had happened during our break, I hesitated. The silence, I believed, said it all. I was on the verge of confessing when she gave me an out: "If you tell me nothing happened, I'll believe you," she said. I should have told her the truth then-or resolved never to reveal it. Instead, years later, as I left for the final time, I selfishly brought it up. By confessing, I hoped to push her away. But in that moment, I let her believe what she clearly wanted to hold on to-that I had been faithful. She knew Pippa and probably sensed there was something between us, but she let it go-and so did I. It was cowardice, I know. Still, I made up my mind to make our dream a reality. And for a while, it worked. But fast-forward through the births of our three additional sons, and more than a dozen years, the same problems that once threatened us had only grown and would soon spiral out of control.

Completed. Highest Hot List Rankings: 1 in Wellness 3 in Autobiography 3 in Memoir 5 in Gratitude Excerpt from "To the Lady Who Leaves Me Starry-Eyed:" "I still fear falling in love again...Love has a way of distorting everything, for better and for worse, like a Hall of Mirrors. I remind myself you'd be there to help me see true, just like the Dungeons and Dragons character of mine who gained True Sight during one of your homebrew campaigns. Her luminous eyes, dark and deep, swim with sparkling pinpoint stars. " These letters and reflective essays examine the formative experiences and relationships I have had, mostly dating back to about the age of 15 or 16. I did, however, add a piece or two from late childhood. You can preorder a Kindle edition of this collection, with exclusive chapters, on Amazon. It releases June 17th.
