Chicken Soup for the Soul(1)

A friend gave me “Chicken Soup for the Soul Living With Alzheimer’s and Other Dementias” and I am totally absorbed in reading it. It gets at the emotions and feelings we all experience as caregivers. 101 stories of caregiving, coping and compassion by 101 caregivers. I highly recommend it.

    Not expensive and good reading from personal viewpoints; the short stories are written by those who are providing care or who had been caregivers.  Many different experiences and topics covered.  Worth reading and even passing along to others who may find it beneficial.
