"When Sheridan Rondeau's husband is diagnosed with Alzheimer's, she finds herself at a major crossroad. Friends and family became distant observers, and there was nobody to ask for help. There was an underlying and unspoken message that Tony was 'her problem', and hers alone. This is a memoir of hope, of a caregiver who wouldn't give up, that shows how you can share the remaining years with a loved one through hard work, compassion and love. With a huge learning curve ahead of her, Sheridan learns how to adapt to his evolving symptoms. The couple develop ways to communicate with each other and make it work on their own terms. She writes letters to her husband, even though he can't read them. This is a timeless story that can be enjoyed by anyone who has ever wondered how much love a person can give another. It's an inspirational story of what it means to love someone through illness: one that will bring tears and smiles right to the end. The author includes tips for caregivers, and provides a list of recommended books that helped her."--Publisher.
