| Annotation | The author was a top civil servant in Australia and a single mother with three children when she was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease (AD) in 1995 at the age of 46. In this book, she records her experiences of living with dementia, exploring the effects of memory problems, loss of independence, difficulties in communication, and the exhaustion of coping with simple tasks. She describes how, with the support of her husband, she continues to lead an active life. She also explains how professionals and carers can help. Included are answers to frequently asked questions about dementia. (RH). |
