Alzheimer's & Dementia

Much-loved broadcaster Fiona Phillips was sixty when she discovered that she had early-onset Alzheimer’s disease. She had cared for her parents who had both suffered from the disease and now she was facing the same heartbreaking diagnosis – under no illusions about what it would mean for her and her family.

For years, award-winning journalist Polly Vernon drove her body around like it was a car - and she had zero interest in the manual. This book charts her mission to lift the bonnet, have a good old rummage and find out what's really going on. She talks to neuroscientists, academics, medics, midwives, gynaes, psychologists and physios. People who really know their stuff. And so here it is, THE complete guide to the female body - head to toe, inside and out, physical and emotional - with reassuring advice on how to mitigate the ways it makes life trickier.

Dementia is devastating. Almost a million people are currently living with the disease in the UK alone and this is set to triple by 2050. With family members often providing care, navigating treatment can be overwhelming. But there is life after diagnosis. Still Me reframes the job of caring for someone with dementia as a partnership. Both you and your loved one deserve respect, support and the latest research to help you on your journey.

Unfailing Love provides support and care for the caregiver with 30 short devotions on simple gospel truths that bring comfort and hope. You will be encouraged to learn that it is possible to both lament and trust God at the same time—that you can bring your struggles honestly to him as you continue to find strength in his word. Woven throughout are stories from fellow caregivers so you can find solace in the experiences of others.
