New Kindle Book on Caregiving for Alzheimer's with Love, Salsa Dance and an IPhone Camera
Alzheimer's: A Mother Daughter Journey is a photojournalistic memoir about a Latina daughter's experience as primary caregiver to her late mother who was afflicted with Alzheimer's disease. Ambushed by the demands of caregiving, author/photographer Celia Pomerantz anchored herself by developing a series of compassionate mission statements to meet each phase of the disease.
- (1888PressRelease) June 01, 2011 - Like many caregivers, her journey begins with the struggle of convincing her mother to move out of her home and into an assisted living facility. Shortly after taking that courageous step, she finds creative ways to manage her mother's daily living activities like showering, swallowing pills, and general hygiene.
Using the guiding principle she calls "Safety and Happiness," Celia learns how to make thoughtful decisions about her mother's medications, family holidays, and effective communication and collaboration with the staff at her mother's facility. As the disease progresses, her mission statement also changes. At the end of this mother-daughter journey, Celia relies heavily on the guidance she formulates from the mission statement she calls "Peace and Simplicity."
It is here that we discover how she keeps connected to her mother beyond words by finding magic in love, salsa music and her iPhone camera. Taken with her iPhone, the sepia-toned, Zen-like photos reflect her effort to have a mother-daughter journey that was calm, mindful and loving. This book will change your outlook on caregiving to Alzheimer's.
