A caregiver of someone with dementia may say, "Who has time to sit and read?" You don't need much time to read You Are Not Alone (even if you think you are), a short book of personal stories about the journey of dementia care. Many caregivers of those with dementia feel overwhelmed from the struggles they face with the burdens of caregiving. They can feel alone and isolated. However, if they have ever shared their situation with another caregiver, they will find a common bond, as they will in this book. You Are Not Alone (even if you think you are) shares with the reader stories of caregivers for those suffering from dementia. The book offers insight and advice to help people realize the struggles, treasured moments, humor, and care throughout the journey of dementia. We are living longer. Dementia care is growing. The Alzheimer's Association states: "In 2013, 15.5 million caregivers provided an estimated 17.7 billion hours of unpaid care. All caregivers of people with Alzheimer's - both women and men - face a devastating toll. Due to the physical and emotional burden of caregiving, Alzheimer's and dementia caregivers had $9.3 billion in additional health care costs of their own in 2013. Nearly 60 percent of Alzheimer's and dementia caregivers rate the emotional stress of caregiving as high or very high, and more than one-third report symptoms of depression." Know you are not alone in this journey, by reading this short book, You Are Not Alone (even if you think you are).
