Synopsis "Just Before The Stroke of Seven: A Caregiver's Tour of Stroke, Aphasia, and Dementia"
In the time it takes for a blood clot to travel from my Mom's heart to her brain, my Mom's life changed and so did mine. For 5+ years I was the solo full-time caregiver for her, doing all that I could to allow my Mother to remain in her own home for as long as possible while still helping her, as much as possible, to live a life of purpose and meaning.Other caregiving books tell of having a caregiving team, so that the primary caregiver does not get overwhelmed and burn out. In our case, such a team never materialized. This book is the story of the journey of one man, providing care for his Mother, starting with a stroke she had which brought about Wernicke's aphasia, and which ended on the Dementia Trail.You will read an account of 5+ years of duty, years which were a labor of love. I wrote this book with raw honesty about the triumphs, the tenderness and the wretched failures which I encountered as a solo full-time caregiver. It is my hope and prayer that what I have written is helpful to at least one other caregiver who is in a situation which is similar to what ours was.
