Description
You became a caregiver overnight... Now you need a clear roadmap...
At first, it's easy to brush off the telltale signs... It's just a bit of forgetfulness -- it happens to us all as we age... and then the signs get bigger until finally you hear that word: dementia.
Nothing prepares you for a dementia diagnosis, and when you want to be the one who cares for your loved one through this challenging chapter, you know your life is going to change dramatically.
The further you get into your new reality, the more you realize how unprepared you are. You know a little about dementia, but you don't really know what to expect, and you have little experience of being a caregiver to someone in this position.
On top of that, this is someone you love, probably someone who once cared for you.
Watching them drift away is one of the most painful things you've experienced, and you're trying to manage your own emotions at the same time as giving them the care they need.
It's a lot, and if you're feeling overwhelmed right now, it's completely understandable.
You don't have time to go on a caregiving course or spend hours studying the intricacies of dementia... What you need is a clear and concise guide to walk you through the most important things -- so that you can show up for your loved one and provide a safe, loving environment in which they can thrive.
You've just found exactly the roadmap you've been looking for. With this sympathetic and comprehensive guide by your side, you'll be equipped to navigate the coming years with confidence.
Inside, you'll discover:
• A deeper understanding of the different types of dementia and their symptoms
• What to expect as your loved one moves through the distinct stages of dementia
• An easy-to-follow step-by-step guide to establishing a daily caregiving routine
• Essential communication techniques explicitly designed to connect with people with dementia

• How to build an all-star caregiving team... and a clear understanding of all the resources available to you
• The self-care strategies you're going to need in order to bring your best self to the table every day (and why prioritizing your own well-being matters so much)
• Valuable preparation advice for when the unthinkable happens -- because no matter how hard it is, being prepared will make the journey easier
• A wealth of activities to engage your loved one and bring joyful moments into every day (no matter how tough it gets)

And much more.

It's natural to feel overwhelmed at this stage, and you may feel unequipped for the challenges ahead.
But with clear guidance by your side and all the advice you need to prepare for every stage of the journey, you'll find your way and soak up all the moments of joy you can find with your loved one.
