| Annotation | Memory loss can create problems in every aspect of a person's life; and the challenge of communicating thoughts and feelings can be made even harder by other people's negative perceptions of dementia. The authors provide practical guidance for coping with progressive memory loss. They highlight both good and bad ways of dealing with the problems that arise, and include examples of people who have faced similar challenges, which is useful for describing the experiences of memory loss to friends and family. They suggest ways of of maintaining physical and mental health by staying active and engaged in society, and offer techniques for improving communication, preserving self-esteem and overcoming the stigma associated with memory loss.
