"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.

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. There is Wattpad-exclusive content here, as well, so it's a benefit to check it out on both sites.

Navel Gazing by ANMS111
33 parts Complete Mature
I didn't want to be without her... Her beautiful face, infectious smile, her long, lean body, and the way she made me feel. But as time passed, and in the cruel way that familiarity and knowledge can sometimes work together against your dreams, the way I saw her changed, and how I saw myself. I slowly woke to the severe reality of our relationship, chosen in the hope of living out an unfulfilled ideal, and the way she made me feel became inescapable. I willed the strength to be away from her.... On the pages that follow, I've attempted to describe events, some dated back as far as 25 years ago, that led to failed relationships, my broken marriage, and a temporary collapse of what had been a productive life.
