Kind to the patient and the caregiver
This audiobook is example of kindness during the tough times of looking after someone with dementia. It was packed with info, practical advice, and a whole lot of heart, helping me and my loved one every step of the way. What really hit home was how it paid attention to the little things—those small details that can make the journey a bit smoother for both the person with dementia and the caregiver. It taught me how to spot the signs, understand the stages, and keep us both safe with loads of useful resources. And it did all this while reminding me to take care of myself, too. Honestly, it's a must for anyone walking this challenging road. Just so kind and thoughtful through and through.
