“62 Tips For Caregivers of Alzheimer's To Delay Shutdown” defines what it means to be a caregiver of a loved one with Alzheimer's on the loneliest possible life journey.Readers will identify with caregivers who will sacrifice whatever it takes, suspend any activity we enjoy, ignore our necessities, and neglect our health to prevent our loved ones from shutting down.
This book explains how caregivers are up against a giant wall of emotions that work aggressively against their efforts when trying to care for a family member with Alzheimer's. These emotions are stored in a human vault, which makes caregiving extremely sensitive, lonely, and collapsible. Sadness is a deep, daily emotion that is usually hidden.
Caregiving for a loved one with Alzheimer's without any outside help is extremely difficult. In most cases, there is no other option. Outside professional help cannot respond in real time when radical behavioral changes occur. Only home caregivers can. There are no two profiles of behavioral changes that are alike, even at the same stage of the disease.
There is no one standard therapy to apply. There are no fixed “do this'' and “do that” rules, or a “to-do list” for the caregiver to follow. Even the stages of Alzheimer's vary in their characteristics.
This book promises to be a shortcut for caregivers, as it details experiences from successes and failures as an ongoing caregiver as a guide to dealing with behavioral changes. “What works for me may not work for you.” Caretakers are totally on their own.
In 62 Tips For Caregivers Of Alzheimer's To Delay Shutdown, you will discover personalized therapies and activities that will empower a caregiver with new tools and strategies from an experienced ongoing caregiver. This will help them mitigate “in real time” changes in the behavior of their loved one.
We are provided with tools to manage our vulnerability to frustrations that test our temperament and the desperation that frequently sets in. We often forget that what is logical to us is not necessarily logical to the person we are caring for.

Like many others, I have been learning the hard way by trial and error for 6 years to mitigate tremendous changes in behavior with my wife. It is not easy, and it is still ongoing, as she is at the beginning of the advanced stages. She is now unable to speak.
Uncover the secrets in 62 Tips For Caregivers Of Alzheimer's To Delay Shutdown to effectively manage the behavioral changes of a loved one with Alzheimer's and take control of your caregiving journey.
