Summary:
"With the searching, exquisite prose of a loving daughter, Patti Davis provides a life raft for the
caregivers
of
Alzheimer
's patients. 'For the decade of my father'
s
illness, I felt as if I was
floating
in the
deep
end
, tossed by waves, carried by currents, but not drowning.' In a singular account of battling
Alzheimer
's, Patti Davis eloquently weaves personal anecdotes with practical advice tailored specifically for the overlooked caregiver. After losing her father, Ronald Reagan, Davis founded a support group for family members and friends of
Alzheimer
's patients; drawing on those years, Davis reveals the surprising struggles and gifts of this cruel disease. From the challenges of navigating disorientation to the moments when guilt and resentments creep in, readers are guided gently through slow-burning grief. Along the way, Davis shares
how
her own fractured family came together, and
how
her father revealed his true self-always kind, even when he couldn't recognize his own daughter. The result is an achingly beautiful work on the fragile human condition from a profoundly wise and empathetic writer."--Publisher.
