Gail Sheehy, who has chronicled every major turning point for twentieth-century Americans, as well as reported on everything from politics to sexuality, knows firsthand the trials, fears, and rare joys of caregiving. Here, she takes you by the hand and shows you that you will get through this, and you will do the right things. Sheehy identifies eight crucial stages of caregiving and offers insight for successfully navigating each one. Most important, however, she points out that you don't have to be alone in this process. This book can help turn a stressful, life-altering situation into a journey that can be safely navigated and from which everyone can benefit.--From publisher description.

A daily break: respite and personal care for the care giver / Vivian E. Greenberg -- From loss to life: Managing emotions and grief / Rev. David Cotton.Although the public most often associates dementia with Alzheimer's disease, the medical profession now distinguishes various types of "other" dementias. This is one of the only guides dealing with frontotemporal degeneration (FTD), one of the largest groups of non-Alzheimer's dementias. The contributors are either specialists in their fields or have exceptional hands-on experience with FTD sufferers. Beginning with a focus on the medical facts, the first part defines and explores FTD as an illness distinct from Alzheimer's disease. Also considered are clinical and medical care issues and practices, as well as such topics as finding a medical team and rehabilitation interventions. The section on managing care examines the daily care routine including exercise, socialization, adapting the home environment, and behavioral issues. In the caregiver resources section, the contributors identify professional and government assistance programs along with private resources and legal options. The final section focuses on the caregiver, in particular the need for respite and the challenge of managing emotions. This completely revised edition will help both healthcare professionals and caregivers of someone suffering from frontotemporal degeneration.
