Hello all,
One of the things I've noticed is that people 'outside' the dementia world, who have never been affected by it, truly struggle to understand what caregivers struggle with. I've had too many people come to wrong conclusions because they don't understand what it's like to live with someone who is suffering.
This is a short book, a novella, that really peels back some of the layers, and I think might help some people be a little more compassionate towards both those who suffer and those who care for them. It's called 'The Curse of Forgetting' and it's available on Amazon. Not sure if it is anywhere else.
Have a blessed day!
