in Caring For a Spouse or Partner

I just completed reading a new book for caregivers. It is titled "Travelers to Unimaginable Lands". Stories of Dementia , The Caregiver, And the Human Brain" by Dasha Kiper. It was published in 2023. Ms. Kiper's background is in dementia support groups.

I am not sure it will solve our problems but it is very insightful and may help us understand why we react to our loved ones the way we do. Well worth reading.

    Thank you, Waldorf. I'm in the process of downloading it from our library now. They also have a hard copy that has one ahead of me. I put a hold on it too.
