#24 Loving lessons from a Caregiver

I learned that some issues of caregiving are specific to people with dementia and some issues transcend all caregiving.
In my memoir Living on the Verge of Insanity I describe 24 hour vigilance, doctor's visits, doing extra jobs around the house, financial issues and lots of experiences that all caregivers have. Then there are the many changes in perspective and new ways of communicating that are specific to a loved one with Alzheimer's disease or one of the other 120 types of dementia.
