Calmer waters : the caregiver's journey through Alzheimer's and dementia
(Book)

Includes bibliographical references (pages 293-298) and index.

After spending a decade caring for her husband who died from younger-onset Alzheimer's disease, Barbra Cohn offers a spiritual and holistic guide to help caregivers feel happier and healthier, have more energy and time for themselves, sleep better, feel more relaxed and confident, and experience inner peace, despite the obstacles they face. With pathos, humor and compassion, Calmer Waters includes the author's compelling life story, inspirational essays and rituals from spiritual leaders, stories from family caregivers and twenty healing modalities from renowned experts that can be practically incorporated into a daily regimen. An added bonus is that both care partners-- the caregiver and memory-impaired individual --can use most of the healing modalities, allowing for a stronger connection between the two.
