This book is my journey after receiving my husband's diagnosis of Alzheimer's/Dementia. Writing and rereading this book a hundred times, allowed me to see for the first time, the strength that lay within me while I experienced being a married women losing a spouse to this illness. My husband's occupation was an ophthalmologist while being on the board of director's over ten years for one of the largest HMO's in the country. I share my experiences with other caregivers in this same position. Working as a State Certified Ombudsman in long term care facilities allowed me to first-hand witness the paralysis family members experience after receiving this diagnosis and living with the consequences of the illness.
