This is a guide for caregiving focused on Alzheimer's patients, their families and other caregivers. It includes the original audiotape text as well as sections taken from talks given by the author to support groups during and after his father's AD illness and passing. It includes guided contemplations to enable caregivers, family members and other readers to increase their understanding of the impact of AD on their loved one as well as on the immediate and extended caregiving circle. The point, always, is kindness.
