Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

Dementia enters life through the back door, slipping in unnoticed. Once it's there, it can make you feel powerless, angry, and unsure how to move forward. When her mother developed dementia, Eveline Helmink wasn't prepared. As she learned firsthand, when your loved one is suffering, it takes a toll on you, too.



As you navigate finding professional caregivers and adapting to your loved one's behavioral challenges, this book will help you confront all the complexities of the experience.

Identify healthy and unhealthy coping mechanisms. Work through feelings of denial, grief, guilt, shame, and fear. Summon the courage to make decisions in your loved one's best interest. Live in the present, find laughter, and show love in the face of dementia.



When a Loved One Has Dementia weaves together Eveline's unflinching personal account and her empathetic guidance, allowing you to walk through the endless tunnel and illuminating the path to acceptance, forgiveness, and love.
