Everything I Wish I Had Known: Quick Reference Guide: Caring for a Loved One with Alzheimer's Or Other Dementia
Goodnight, Sweet: A Caregiver's Long Goodbye recounts my unexpected and heart-wrenching journey as the primary caregiver for my aging grandparents who both developed dementia. I loved my grandparents and did my best to help them, but I was young and naïve, and my journey could rightly be described as the proverbial "trial by fire." Years later, a little older and a little wiser, I would walk a different version of this path again with my parents, but I discovered I still had a lot to learn. Through it all, God has directed my path and covered my weaknesses with His grace, and I believe that perhaps He allowed me to walk this journey so that I might be a help to others.

With this context in mind, I began to consider everything I wish I had known before starting my journey as a caregiver for my loved ones with Alzheimer's. I coupled my experiences with more than a year's worth of research about best practices for caregivers and where to get resources and help. And now, with the help of my publisher, I've compiled everything I learned into three publications that I hope will make your journey as a caregiver better for you and your loved ones:

>Online Course Edition
>Unabridged eBook Edition
>Quick Reference Guide Edition

This topic is very personal to me, and I've written these publications as though I'm talking with my close friend about many things I wish I had known when I started to care for my grandparents and later my parents. I'm not a lawyer or a counselor or a medical professional. I am an experienced Alzheimer's/dementia caregiver—I've walked this thing out. So let's, you and me, engage in an open, honest conversation about this great blessing, this dreadful mantle: the tidy mess of caregiving.
