Description
Susan and George, married for 40 years, have just returned from their 10,000-mile-Last-Hurrah road trip.
During their travels Susan has shed the strong urge to run away from the care-giving role she has been given when George was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s.
The readers of her travel blog encouraged her to keep writing when she got home.“Your journey is not over,” they told her.
So Susan kept writing the friendly, open posts that seemed more like a letter from a friend than a computer post. She recorded life moments honestly and openly. The readers would open their mailbox periodically throughout the day, anxious to dive into another update that would have them laughing, or crying or just shaking their heads.
Now you too can take the journey with Susan and George. Learn how they found fun, joy, and fellowship despite living with progressive dementia symptoms.
Find yourself entertained and pulled into their story as you learn:
* Caregivers Stuff Feelings
* The Art of Dealing with Bullies
* Levels and Stages of Dementia
* Traveling with Dementia
* Respite Care Rescue
* Dementia Care Training
* Instructing Respite Caregivers
* Bicycle Friends are the Best
* Alzheimer’s is Crappy
* Sleep, the Game Changer
