Beschreibung

The TLC Story - Severe Dementia A Guide for Caregivers of Loved Ones in the Severe Stage of Alzheimer's and Related Dementia Diseases. "TLC" is a common language abbreviation for Tender Loving Care. Giving TLC is the minimum that a loved one living with dementia needs and deserves. This book is an exciting and touching true story about our final years together. Naturally, I never envisioned I would ever become a caregiver husband during Laura's end-of-life stage. The marriage vow, "In sickness and in health..." took on complex personal responsibilities when Laura's dementia progressed to the final stage. I have focused this book on the severe stage of dementia to guide the caregiver through that final part of the dementia journey. The text provides specific and valuable information to people caring for a loved one during this most difficult of all stages. It covers Laura's challenging severe-stage behaviors and hundreds of my caregiving tactics, therapies, and strategies. Many tips and recommendations explain how to provide tender loving care. It contains a powerhouse of useful guidance and advice. Laura's severe stage dementia was a life-changing event for both of us. Dealing with the challenges of this stage is difficult to imagine. After reading this book, you will gain an intimate knowledge of our experience and will know how to proceed if thrust into this situation. By reading my books, you may become upset yet hopeful and ready to transform your ideas of life and dementia. I feel I have delivered a unique story everyone should read.
