Description
by Lyla Yastion (Author)
"Lyla Yastion's deeply moving account transcends the typical caregiver's journey, offering a heartfelt blend of personal experience, spiritual insight and practical wisdom. Her book is an essential guide for anyone navigating the complexities of Alzheimer's care, reminding us all of the enduring spirit that remains, even in the face of cognitive decline." -Justin Russo, Director of Programming, Music & Memory
"Caring for a patient with dementia is a noble but difficult undertaking. Lyla Yastion captures the time she spent caring for her husband in a poignant and meaningful way. This book is a must for anyone who is navigating the challenges of this demanding, enriching experience." -Dr. Jodi Friedman, geriatrician, The Center for Healthy Aging, Rhinebeck, N.Y.
When Lyla's husband of 54 years of marriage died of Alzheimer's disease, she felt impelled to write a book that might help fellow caregivers. Lyla was her husband's sole caregiver for six years. The major lesson that she learned was this: even as the body fails, the spirit can be nourished. Lyla weaves together the science of Alzheimer's disease, a spiritual teaching of transcendence, and journal entries that bring to life her journey through the maze of Alzheimer's disease. The book you hold in your hand is the product of that journey.
LYLA YASTION, Ph.D. taught courses in anthropology and religious studies at the college level for 18 years. Lyla is the author of two books: Pause Now: Handbook for a Spiritual Revolution and Homesick: Finding Our Way Back to a Healthy Planet. She lives in New Paltz, NY with her cat, Henry.
