Laughing to Keep from Crying, This Alzheimer's Thing Is No Joke

Alzheimer's, what is that That was the question I asked myself when I started this journey. My mother was a very healthy woman; no other illnesses. I could not believe or understand how my mother contracted such a disease like this. Laughing to Keep From Crying delves into what my family and I went through as we cared for my mother who had Alzheimer's. It provides insight into our struggles as well as my mother's struggles with the disease. As a caregiver, one has to learn to cope with a number of emotional cycles. Although the book is about dealing with a loved one who has Alzheimer's, it also offers lessons learned to caregivers who are taking care of loved ones who are suffering with other illnesses.
