Hello ,
I’m writing to you just prior to embarking on a trip to Ireland. I have heard so many wonderful things and seen so many beautiful pictures, I am looking forward to my own experience.
Much like Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia, those who have traveled the path before you can offer advice, share their experience, and for some even develop a caregiving guide. We take what we can, experience it through someone else’s words, but ultimately the journey is our own. These people become our community and our light in the darkness preparing us for a trip and hopefully equipping us with what we need.
Author Nicole Smith did just that in her beautiful book entitled Diagnosis: Dementia: Your Guide for Eldercare Planning and Crisis Management. She shares many tips, helpful information, and her own personal story of her journey with her mother to create a "road map" for those embarking on this daunting trip. As an AlzAuthor, she is truly lighting the way for others.

Nicole says:
"The paranoia, anger, and accusatory behavior my mother exhibited was her new reality. My reality was equally twisted as I struggled to find resources and advice on how to manage it all. I knew there had to be a better way. Most of the books and podcasts I came across focused on the behavioral aspects and stage progression of dementia. I desperately needed immediate practical advice on how to address the legal, medical, and financial aspects of moving my mother into memory care against her will."
