Opis

Did you know that: -
1 in 8 adults in the UK are carers?
Three in five people will be carers at some point in their lives in the UK?
Another 7.7 million people will develop dementia around the world every year?

As of 2013, there were an estimated 44.4 million people with dementia worldwide. This number will increase to an estimated 135.5 million in 2050?

The chances are that you know someone who has been diagnosed with dementia.
Maybe you are one of those heroic carers?
Or maybe you are wondering what will happen to you or a family member if you or they should need full-time care?
Being a carer can seem tragic and challenging, but it can also be a journey blessed with joy, healing and unforeseen rewards.

Dawn Fanshawe's personal story will open your mind and heart to some shared human fears, concerns and issues and will offer you hope, reassurance, insight and many practical suggestions as you face the choices you may need to make. *******************************

"Dawn writes with great sensitivity to both the cared for and the carer. She shares her own personal journey with honesty and yet with dignity in a way that will help anyone caring for another to find ways to embrace life, despite its many and varied challenges. This book is easy to read and engaging and will bring hope and encouragement to carers walking this challenging and yet important path. It will also provide people in general with a better understanding about the issues so many face on a daily basis."
