By Jessica Dumas

When your spouse begins to change because of Alzheimer's disease or another type of dementia, it can feel confusing, exhausting, and heartbreaking.

You are not just losing memories. You are adjusting to personality changes, unexpected behavior, fear about the future, and the daily responsibility of becoming a caregiver.

If you are caring for a husband or wife with dementia, this book was written for you.

More than 5 million people in the United States are living with Alzheimer's disease, and that number continues to grow. Behind each diagnosis is a spouse doing their best to provide loving home care while trying not to lose themselves in the process.

Inside you will discover:

? Early warning signs of dementia and why early diagnosis matters
? How to prepare for doctor visits and understand common tests
? Ways to cope with denial after diagnosis
? How to build a Care Team and ask others for help
? Important legal and planning documents to organize

Author Jessica Dumas cared for her husband with vascular dementia for nearly five years. While not a medical professional, she shares real life experience, honest insight, and practical advice learned through personal caregiving.

This book speaks in clear, understandable language rather than complicated medical terms. It is designed to help you feel less overwhelmed and more prepared for what lies ahead.

Whether your spouse is newly diagnosed, showing early symptoms, or progressing through later stages, you will gain practical strategies to provide compassionate care while also caring for yourself.

You do not have to navigate dementia caregiving alone.
