圖書介紹
Remember Joan is the account of a daughter beside her mother as they face a life disrupted by Alzheimer’s disease. The book opens with a wedding and closes with a funeral. Embedded between these two ceremonial rituals are two tales, the story of a mother’s decline and death due to Alzheimer’s and the story of the author’s relationships and life as the daughter of Joan. The stages of Joan’s Alzheimer’s are exposed, including the practical and painful conditions. Familial relationships, both constructive and noxious, are examined. Humor is the family’s favorite coping strategy when damage control is necessary. In the end, this book is not only a tribute to Joan’s life, but a tribute to all who try to create a celebrated life with the people that surround them.
