Help! Someone I love has dementia

A diagnosis of dementia usually comes as a great shock. Christians are not promised exemption from ill-health or the distress that comes with a difficult diagnosis. This booklet sets out the basic facts about dementia, corrects some common misconceptions and gives practical ideas for supporting loved ones. The booklet ends with a biblical understanding of dementia, offering hope and comfort to the individual as well as family and friends.

My husband has recently been diagnosed with Alzheimer's /dementia, we have suspected it for a while and put into place various things ie: wills etc. So it was not such a shock to us as a family, in fact rather a relief that we had a diagnosis. However this booklet was a great help in knowing what we thought and knowing we were on the right track !! It was also helpful from a Christian view as well. I would certainly recommend it for people in our situation to read . I am going to order a couple in case I come into contact with folks who might need help. Thank you. Tina Cole
