Synopsis of Book:
Evoking both tears and laughter, all of the emotions of Alzheimer’s caregiving are expressed in this chronicle, through moving poetry, journal entries, and photos from family albums through the years.
From the creator of the award-winning Web site, A Year to Remember…with My Mother and Alzheimer’s Disease, this book brings together Brenda Parris Sibley’s poetry, her caregiving journal, and cherished photographs from family albums through the years. Waiting for the Morning, the title which comes from one of her poems, is a memorial to Jessie Lee Parris, a victim of Alzheimer’s, and provides helpful information for coping with caregiving, including a bibliography of suggested books for both adults and children, and a webliography of recommended Web sites by organizations, professionals, caregivers, and early-onset Alzheimer’s patients.
