Overview
Experiencing first hand the plight of those afflicted with Alzheimer's disease & related forms of dementia can be sad, lonely, & agonizing for family members & caregivers. Finding that silver lining of hope & even a bit of humorous relief during these difficult times may seem impossible, but caregivers & family members can lighten their emotional burden, even while meeting weekly demands of aiding those they love. Veteran hospital social worker Ellen Young, who saw both her mother & aunt struggle with Alzheimer's, says that though hard to find, humor is often the best medicine. It can be found in the simplest of words & actions. Between Two Worlds is a unique attempt to explore, through personal accounts & colorful, revealing vignettes, those precious, unforgettable moments of humor & lightheartedness found while ministering to those with debilitating Alzheimer's & related dementia. Young brings the quiet courage of care providers & relatives to life as each mines the depths of their caregiving experience to reveal touching & gently humorous moments that go a long way to ease the tension & pain. While respectful of the plight of affected families & patients, Young gathers a timeless collection of "fear busters" that "access mirth" with touching chapters such as "Please Don't Eat the Marigold," & "I've Just Found Out I'm in Baltimore."
