A piece of literature written by Lisa Skinner is seamlessly woven from real-life prose and prepped with vivid images as well as clarity. This book tells us the story of multiple people who have and have been struggling to pull themselves together while living with Alzheimer’s disease. And Skinner gives us care guides from those situations, practical tips, and information that will improve the lives of our loved ones who are suffering from this mental illness. Moreover, it also helps caregivers to cope with their own emotions and needs.
Life is unpredictable. You will never know what comes next. Alzheimer’s attacks without warning, and it might be to a loved one. When we become old, things like this are inevitable. So, it is better to be knowledgeable enough to be prepared. Just like in Lisa’s situation, she got so fuming mad after a Policeman called her grandmother a retard, when in fact, she is mentally ill and diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. And yes, that’s two different things. If all of us would be educated on these certain issues, we wouldn’t offend anyone. It’s already tough for the family— being uninformed, and spitting out unpleasant words, will make them more upset. In this case, Lisa Skinner’s “Truth, Lies & Alzheimer’s Its Secret Faces” is the best book, to begin with.
This is a real eye-opener to things that some of us have never seen.
This is one of the best books you’ll ever read this year. The catch? The characters suffer from dementia, hallucinations, memory loss, paranoia, etc. – making them wholly intriguing yet unreliable people to follow.
Calm polished prose that lets us into the lives of tens of people who have Alzheimer’s disease and those that have a history of having one. It’s a short, gorgeous story, full of love, life, and caring. TRUTH, LIES & ALZHEIMER’S Its Secret Faces is a very helpful guide in understanding what our loved ones are going through when they begin to show signs of Alzheimer’s. It helps families to fathom the issues and challenges they will be dealing with as a family. Be ready for the strain it will cause you and the how’s that’ll mitigate them in order to avoid tearing your family apart. It’s always great to be on the upper hand, to be knowledgeable enough on things that are uncommon for some, because in this case, you know that such behaviors aren’t done on purpose, nor is it controlled by that certain person. Thus, you are prepared not to take it personally or overreact.
A good resource indeed. I’m glad I found it.
