A DEEPER PERSPECTIVE ON ALZHEIMER'S AND OTHER DEMENTIAS is about understanding some of the deeper lessons we are exposed to through caring for individuals with Alzheimer's and other types of dementia – so-called 'fall-out blessings.'. This book will help people caring for those going through the difficult dementia journey find a way to remain awake and open to the blessing of a journey that opens the heart, nurtures compassion and ultimately enables each of us to be better human beings. This book is, also, for those living with memory loss illnesses, to help them navigate their own path through the progression of the dementia with the support of their loved ones and carers. Coming from a rich professional background in caring, Megan Carnarius clearly outlines the different stages of dementia and highlights many practical aspects of dementia care, suggesting accessible tools for family and professionals alike, such as using humour and creating meaningful activities for each person to help them engage in each day. She, also, addresses the more subtle, spiritual dimensions of this illness with much compassion and understanding, offering new insights into areas that have not been explored in other books on the disease, such as: · Alzheimer's as a way of living more than one life at a time · Alzheimer's as a way of allowing matriarch and patriarch roles to transition to the next generation · Alzheimer's as an opportunity to be cared for · Alzheimer's as a way to escape an unbearable situation · Alzheimer's as a way to teach compassion and introspection.
