Fading From Memory: what happens to a family when both parents have Alzheimer's?

Now in Paperback and on Nook and Kindle!

If you're caring for a parent who has cognitive problems, you'll find comfort, sympathy and humor in Fading From Memory - Mona Johnson, author of 'The Tangled Neuron' blog.

Fading From Memory is a journal I kept from 16 July 2006 to 8 September 2009. It deals with the period during which my parents were first diagnosed with - and eventually succumbed to - Alzheimer’s disease. The journal accomplishes this by interlacing the daily development of the disease with frequent recollections of earlier, better days. There were good days and bad. I didn't always feel like writing, and there were many times when I stopped. However, whenever I did write I tried to be honest about what was happening and what I thought and felt at the time.

I have left samples of this journal online so that readers of the book that it became can go back and see the comments that were left here as the story unfolded.
