Product Description Caregivers for Alzheimer's loved ones are legion, yet society is largely unaware of them. The world is consumed with more worthwhile tragedies. These caregivers are lonely and often deserted by families and friends. They have no one to talk with, no one who understands, and no one to help carry their burden. I know. I was one of them. I did not have a shoulder to cry on or arms to enfold me. No words of comfort and encouragement were heard. There was only anguish, pain and the daily struggle to cope. Eventually, there was hope and peace. About the Author Sally Moore brings over 12 years of personal, professional and practical experience to her writings on caring for Alzheimer's patients. She assisted her father in caring for her mother and was the primary caregiver for her husband, both of whom suffered from the disease. After their deaths, Sally returned to college and earned her Masters in Social Work. She designed and presents Alzheimer's care presentations and hosts caregiver support groups. She also serves as a hospice social worker. The poetry approach in this book reflects Sally's religious faith, family values, experience and insights to help caregivers of Alzheimer s patients.
