Produktbeschreibung

Life is full of crap. Susan Straley deals with it. The second book in the Trippin' series, this is no ordinary memoir. Susan's high-energy lifestyle pulls you along on an amazing journey of transition and love. This story starts off where the first book ended. Susan has returned from a 10,000 mile road-trip with her husband George who has acquired even more dementia symptoms. As she heads into the jungle of lifestyle restrictions and frustrations of dementia caregiving, she starts to learn from others and through experience. Can she remain happy, financially stable, physically and socially active while walking deeper into the caregiver life? George was 69 years old. Still able to walk and ride his recumbent tricycle. As with Alzhiemer's Trippin' with George, Susan's story is written as it happens in letters to friends and family. It is accompanied by lots of descriptive and sometimes quirky photos. Susan's story takes the reader into the scary, dirty, delightful, and loving moments as Susan and George adjust to symptoms. What is amazing is they teach us how we too can continue to fully and joyfully as possible embrace life. More than a women's memoir, this is a book we will long remember. Susan's writing pulls us forward from laughter to heartache, fear to hope. "Susan helps you laugh and cry at the normal human responses of caregivers, those with Alzheimer's disease and the world around us. I hope this book inspires others to hang in there while taking care of others and yourself!" Teri Saunders Lonon TRS, CDP Therapeutic Recreation Specialist Certified Dementia Practitioner Caregiver Coach "A Journey of Love! Both books give an indepth view of living with a beloved spouse who has Alzheimer's. Susan Straley writes with compassion, enthusiasm, joy and sorrow. It is a must read or must listen for all care givers, respite workers, and anyone that enjoys a good journey that has it's ups and downs." Audible Listener and Amazon Customer "I read this book and the previous one over four days and couldn't quit. The book deals with all that a person with Alzheimer's and their caregiver goes through. I love the way strategies are developed to handle situations and the way the author and their friends and support community work together to ensure a person's end of life is respectful, fulfilling, and happy. I smiled, I cried, and I thought long and hard about all that goes through the final days. Great book." Wraith Rider "Great Sequel! I've been waiting for this sequel to become available in kindle format. I was not disappointed. Thank you, Susan!" Dale Krimmer "So what did I learn from this book? That while every day life is challenging, in the midst of sadness the author found joy. I learned that friends are vital- they can help with errands, bring meals, visit, and most important of all, show love. I found out that it's possible to continue to travel and live a companionable life. Thanks to the author for sharing her life and her love for her husband with readers." Jena Henry Booklover "Sue is so down-to-earth as she teaches us what really matters in life. Her love for George is an inspiration." Scott Martin A portion of all funds from the sale of this book are donated to organizations that provide support to dementia caregivers.
