There is no right or wrong way to grieve! Grief and Sympathy News No. 2 October 24, 2013 |
Welcome to Grief and Sympathy News Edition Number 2.“We mustn’t give up hope. After all, isn’t that what makes us human?”
Terry Pratchett
Terry has been diagnosed with Alzheimer's and is an inspiration with his positive attitude and his tireless work in raising awareness and funds. As promised in the last newsletter, my book has just been published. It is aimed at those caring for sufferers in the home, those supporting relatives who have a family member living alone with Alzheimer's or dementia, as well as professional caregivers. Caregivers will find help with day to day challenges of caring, as well as encouragement to look after themselves too, as this is so important. There are chapters on coping with the grief of having a family member with Alzheimer's and activities to help with a better quality of life. You can check out the complete contents of the book at:
