Released to the Angels: Discovering the Hidden Gifts of Alzheimer's - Hardcover

Reseña del editor

Marilynn Garzione faces numerous challenges when she learns that her husband, Patrick, has Alzheimer's and she becomes his primary caregiver. But when faced with a world that's slowly being taken away, she discovers humor can still exist in sadness and acceptance in the face of loss.

In these one hundred and thirty eight heartfelt and deeply moving scenes from their life, Marilynn shares her personal thoughts and insights as she and Patrick struggle to cope with this progressive disease. She reveals memories of their early relationship, how even ordinary trips to the grocery store can become an adventure, how time can seemingly be set aside, how music can continue to touch a soul and how the loss of memory can not erase the meaning of love.

Released to the Angels is a celebration of life that will give hope and strength to anyone facing a personal hardship and give comfort to those who may be affected by the disease. It speaks to all of us with a clear message that life, no matter how fragile, holds joys to be discovered and strengths to be learned.
