Retired FBI Agent, Coping Strategies the Focus of Dementia- Challenged Parent Care Story Told with Humor and Candor
A story of storm-ridden, dementia-challenged parent care told with laugh-provoking humor, sensitivity and candor.
- Milwaukee-Waukesha, WI (1888PressRelease) January 13, 2016 - An imaginary gun battle, "duplicate cities," diverse roles and creative deception combine with thematic illusions to color a relationship story as a son deals with an aging, often contentious father suffering from two forms of cancer and rampant dementia. The result: And Good Night to All the Beautiful Young Women -- A Tale of "Episodic Dementia"; The Parent Becomes the Child, a book of non-fiction by Milwaukee author, Joel Kriofske.
The story's central focus is on former FBI Special Agent Joseph W. Kriofske during the 19-month long hospice period at the end of his life, with reflections on nationally prominent moments in his profession, a regionally famous athletic career and dementia that spawned intriguing and amusing episodes throughout the caregiving experience. It is a book liberally sprinkled with real and imagined adventures, sensitively presented with humor owing to the subject's comedic personality and the many unusual ways in which his dementia manifested itself. The book features generational themes and a kind of universality as it explores a time of life most will face, to one degree or another, when adult children begin the process of providing health care for aging parents.
The author is a graduate of Marquette University's College of Journalism, Milwaukee, WI, and spent many years working in print and broadcast media, the past several as a multiple-award-winning free-lance writer and marketing communications practitioner. An essay based on his book was published in Milwaukee Magazine. The book is available in 6" x 9" paperback format and can be ordered both through www.amazon.com and www.barnesandnoble.com.
