All too often family members and friends of people with Alzheimer's feel so uncomfortable that they dread visits or simply give up contact. Claudia Strauss rescues these relationships by showing readers how to stay connected with the Alzheimer's patient in their lives. Practical suggestions address everything from dealing with the inevitable repetition in conversations to saying no to unrealistic demands. Included are guidelines for handling one's own feelings and helping children cope.
