About this item

One wife's story of caring for her husband with dementia - and the lessons for caregivers she learned along the way.. After the death of her husband, author Donna Larkin realized that she - and the other women in her dementia caregivers' support group - had accumulated invaluable strategies and tools that might be helpful for others recently finding themselves in a similar situation. In Enduring: A Story of Love, Dementia, and Lessons Learned, Larkin shares a chronology of her husband's Alzheimer's disease and her caregiving approaches, including those gleaned from her support-group friends and experts she met along the way.. An honest, loving, and unflinching portrait of caregiving, Enduring draws on nine years' worth of notes, emails, and journal pages written while full-time caregiving at home and while later helping to transition her husband into a memory-care facility.
