In October 2018, Mark “Mace” Macy, sixty-four years old, was diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer’s disease. He had spent thirty years competing in Colorado and around the world in ultra-endurance competitions and is one of the few people who have finished all eight Eco-Challenge events.

The time to rethink degenerative brain disorders has come. With no biological boundaries between neurodegenerative diseases, illnesses such as Parkinson's and Alzheimer's result from a large spectrum of biological abnormalities, hampering effective treatment. Acclaimed neurologist Dr. Alberto Espay and Parkinson's advocate Benjamin Stecher present compelling evidence that these diseases should be targeted according to genetic and molecular signatures rather than clinical diagnoses. 

Dementia is a cruel disease, and neither this book nor any other make it all better. What this book aims to do, however, is show you that you can live with dementia and that there is life after a diagnosis. While dementia will steal a lot of the elements of your life, it can still leave you with much to be grateful for. Its progress can be delayed. And, ultimately, you and your loved ones can learn how to cope with it. 

Freedom 55? The so-called “Golden Years”? What if you are slowly losing your memories and your motor skills? Or what if you are the devastated witness as your partner struggles with dementia? Lewy Body Disease is a form of dementia second only to Alzheimer’s in numbers, yet many doctors and almost no lay people have ever heard its name. This is the story of two courageous people, Julie and Ken Sobol, life partners as well as writing partners. Caught up in the frightening and fatal fog of Lewy Body Disease, they started writing this book together.

Caring for a loved one who is gradually losing their mental and physical abilities over time is one of the most challenging tasks. However, by adopting a family-centered approach, we can overcome caregiver burnout and find solace in supporting one another. In many traditional cultures, the elderly receive care from the wider community and the entire family unit. They are respected for their wisdom and knowledge and as a valuable link to the past and family history. Unfortunately, in our modern-day Western culture, we are conditioned to be self-reliant, independent, and often isolated.

Filled with heartfelt stories and insightful tips, this book is a reassuring companion for anyone facing the challenges of caring for elderly parents. From understanding the emotional needs of your aging parents to making important medical decisions, this book covers it all.

Your comforting companion in the often-lonely path of caregiving.

From 2006 to 2015, Lorrie Cox walked one of the hardest roads a spouse can travel—watching her husband John slowly disappear to frontotemporal dementia (FTD), a devastating brain disease that strikes people in the prime of life, often in their 40s, 50s, and 60s. Unlike Alzheimer's, FTD changes personality, behavior, and language first. Most families don't see it coming—and most don't know where to turn. When John was diagnosed, everything changed—their marriage, their family, their faith, and the shape of everyday life.
