Opis

Joe and Wanda found each other in midlife. Deeply in love, they'd just bought their new home when Joe's diagnosis of early-onset Alzheimer's changed everything. "Until death do us part" took on an immediate, deeply personal meaning.

"White Knight "recounts the couple's four-year journey through Alzheimer's, a journey that ended with Joe's death. Initially Wanda, like many caregivers, mourned for the husband she used to have, teetering between despair and panic while she adapted to the couple's new reality.

Then something wonderful happened. Wanda came to a realization that helped her and Joe cope with the daily struggle of living with Alzheimer's. Wanda discovered living in the moment helped her enjoy and cherish the limited time she had left with the man she loved. By dedicating herself to filling Joe's remaining days with as much laughter and love as possible, Wanda found strength and purpose in the midst of sorrow and despair.

Written with heartfelt honesty and love, "White Knight" reveals how living in the moment helps keep caregivers and Alzheimer's patients calm, improving quality of life and reducing stress for all concerned. Wanda's message, simple but powerful, will change how you view Alzheimer's.
