| Description: | Caregiving is difficult and critically imporant as we find vulnerable people of all ages in our families, communities and churches. Alzheimer's Disease has no cure and currently afflicts more than 30 million people. There is every indication that the number of people afflicted with Alzheimer's will continue to grow making caregiving essential. What can the Church do to help those who are on the emotionally difficult and physically exhausting journey of caring for a loved one with Alzheimer's? This DVD with commentary and insight from professionals and family members who are intimately aware of the needs of those with Alzheimer's and those caring for them is a practical and inspirational resource that is useful for support groups, individual caregivers, family members and churches. Topics discussed include grieving the losses, caring for one who doesn't remember your name, how to handle frustration and anger, the importance of self-care, finding support, learning to accept change, and many other issues that surface for caregivers. Expert interviews include conversations with Mary Ellen Geist, a former CBS radio anchor and author of Measure of the Heart: A Father's Alzheimer's, a Daughter's Return; Dr. Kenneth Doka of Hospice Foundation of America, and Joanne Koenig Coste, family therapist and author of Learning to Speak Alzheirmer's: A Groundbreaking Approach for Everyone Dealing with the Disease. |
