Produktbeschreibung
I Can't Remember is an intimate photo essay of four families and their process of coping with Alzheimer's disease - a process of coming to terms with the practical and emotional consequences of a disease that changes the entire family dynamic. Family members tell their stories of first denying that their loved one could be suffering from Alzheimer's, then dealing with the changing relationships among family members and the intensifying emotions, as old family troubles are stirred up and new feelings of despair and love appear. Each family's story is different, but all four families share common pain and frustration. A highway patrolman who has early onset Alzheimer's describes what it is like to have Alzheimer's. His wife tells a parallel story of life together after hearing the diagnosis. Another daughter relates that she was unaware of the onset of Alzheimer's in her mother, because her mother was such a "wonderful actress". This book provides the impetus caregivers need to develop contacts that can provide support.
