The narrator's voice (Rachael Doolen) was easy to understand. This audiobook complements the Kindle edition, which I already read. I'm lot more knowledgeable about dementia now, and I'm confident that I can support my mother with compassion and ability. I highly recommend!

Practical and empathetic advice for care givers

I really appreciated the information and caring delivery of the author and narrator. The information about the disease, common symptoms, and progression was very helpful, especially since I and many of my family members caring genes that increase our risk of dementia. My father passed away last hear after suffering for many years with Alzheimer's, and his mother before him also suffered from this debilitating illness. Understanding what to expect and the great self-care tips eases the burden.

Enlightening

The narrator was very proficient and made listening very enjoyable. Author is very knowledgeable in the topic of dementia and presents hope and resources for those who have to walk the path of caregiving for a loved one.

I have a better understanding

As I watch my family get older, I've been curious about dementia and caretaking and was gifted this book.

Something that I really hadn't considered was all of the costs associated with taking care of a loved one.

I loved that the book lists steps to help you with financial planning. It even has a list of helpful resources to assist with financial costs.

It was also helpful to see some of the behaviors that come along with dementia.

There are so many things that I hadn't thought about and was unaware of, but I feel like I have a better understanding and I'm glad that I can reference this book when the time comes.
