Description
Fay Martin wrote Dementia Widow: a memoir about love, death and survival, to make sense of her 25-year dance with dementia. The book includes the difficult time of figuring out that it was dementia that was messing with a previously good marriage, 15 years of watching her husband slide deeper into the disease, two years of real widowhood following his death, and then, a visit to an alternate residential environment in the Netherlands that validated her caregiving philosophy into a simple three-point strategy that she thinks is generally applicable to life itself, but certainly to caregiving.
