Overview
More than 800,000 people in the UK are currently affected by dementia, a figure set to increase as the population ages. This book, addressed to carers and loved ones, explores how to handle the difficult emotions involved in looking after a loved one with dementia, such as denial, shame, anger, guilt and grief. It examines the harrowing process of effectively losing a person on a day-to-day basis, and suggests the best ways to maintain psychological health and well-being.
Topics include:
- Understanding the changes in memory, personality and behaviour
- Developing an understanding of personal challenge
- Overcoming loneliness and isolation
- How family dynamics may affect the caring experience
- "The long goodbye" - coping with progressive decline
- Severe dementia and end of life care
- Finding meaning in the experience - is there a "positive" side of looking after someone with dementia?
