Freedom from Trauma in Dementia describes how to overcome the emotional impact of the disease. This guide provides caregiving advice on wide-ranging problems, including mind-wandering, falls, sleeping, exercise, fatigue, overcoming the urge to be impatient, being outdoors, mobility, self-esteem and dignity, melancholy, physical ailments, housekeeping, disagreements, diet and eating, hearing, vision, smoking and alcohol, and end-of-life care. Throughout the book, caregivers illustrate how to see through their doubts and fears to recover self-confidence and strength of will. A retired professor and director of a dementia centre, Bill Lemmer presents an unrivaled view of how caregivers rise above their own troublesome feelings by attending to another person's well-being. Alongside individual and family first-hand accounts, the author reveals how being mentally alert and physically relaxed releases the capacity inside each and every one of us to find joy and fulfillment-our in-built potential ready and waiting to be used every day for the benefit of another person.
