Alzheimer's 911: Help, Hope, and Healing for the Caregiver by Frena Gray-Davidson

Alzheimer’s 911 is a must-read for absolutely everyone associated with anyone with dementia. With humor, spiritual sophistication, practicality, and twenty-plus years of experience, Frena Gray-Davidson takes the same approach to the inner world of people with dementia that she did as a foreign correspondent in India, Nepal, and China—looking with fresh and curious eyes to understand the people from their perspective, without judgments.

Frena Gray-Davidson gives us a fresh way to walk through this holy ground of caregiving. She opens a window that does not show a brick wall but a colorful garden of possibility. . . .
Alzheimer’s 911 turns the horrendous word “victimhood” into “transformation.” It offers creative, profound, and simple ways of being on this journey together, no longer as strangers but as friends.

Alzheimer’s 911 is an impressive, empowering, and honest book, full of frank and fearless advice and very practical help. Her personal anecdotes are both touching and humorous, and she enables caregivers to understand what is really going on inside the person with dementia. I laughed and I cried and found this book very entertaining, as well as deeply spiritual.
