Practical advice!
It is a comprehensive guide that covers various aspects of dementia, providing valuable insights and practical advice for both individuals facing dementia and their caregivers. In Chapter 2, "In Their Shoes," the book delves into the subjective experience of individuals with dementia, and this chapter resonated with me on a personal level. It reminded me of a close relative's struggle with dementia and how challenging it was to understand their perspective. Noor Fatima's exploration of what dementia feels like, the alternate reality it creates, and the behavioral and personality changes experienced by individuals with dementia offers an empathetic understanding. The chapter goes beyond facts, providing a compassionate lens for listeners to comprehend the emotional journey of those living with dementia. Courtney Pinkerton's narration adds a comforting and empathetic tone to the book.

Hard subject made a little bit easier...
This book is a must have guide for those of us who are caregivers and want to give the best possible care that we can. It's difficult but this book is an enormous help by giving both knowledge of the disease of dementia and experience via others. There is nothing like getting the two together in one place. The techniques and strategies for handling different problems that may or have arisen are invaluable. Thanks to the author for this book as it has been so helpful.
