Diagnosis

📖 The Scoop

Dementia care for a loved one walks the fine line between knowing it won't last forever and the absolute horror that the final outcome is death. The beginning is unforeseen, but the end is inevitable.

Diagnosis Dementia-Prognosis Hope is a touching memoir of a mother-daughter journey through their journey with Dementia, made all the worse with the timing of the COVID-19 pandemic. These stories capture the daily struggles, the momentary joys, and the complex challenges that compound the caregiving effort. Judith Kay speaks from the heart, sculpting each situation into hope-giving inspiration.

Seasoned with just the right amount of humor, this book is a must-read for caregivers, children of Dementia patients, and anyone who finds themselves involved with memory-challenged loved ones. Dementia is not an individual struggle. It is a family disease affecting every facet of daily living. Judith Kay presents an inspirational glimpse into the day-to-day memory-challenged world she navigated with her mother, unprepared, untrained, and overwhelmed. Each story stands alone, yet simultaneously intertwines with the past, all the while foreshadowing what is yet to come.
