I was born into a wonderful family of 5 children - 4 boys and one girl (me). My mom loved her children more than any other mom I had ever known. We were her favorite pastime; along with reading and cooking.
In June of 1983 her third born son left us, and went to be with the Lord. Cause of death - cancer.
After his death mom crawled into her shell and would not come out. She no longer read her incredible library of books, and her wonderful meals became meals that were not very tasty.
The remaining four of us, including spouses and children could not understand why mom had withdrawn from her normal world. I told her I knew it was hard to lose a child but she still had four other children who loved and needed her very much.
After a few months we realized there was something more than Doug's death causing her problems.
I told dad I would take her to a neurologist and have her checked out. He ran several tests. He came back with a diagnosis of Alzheimer's Disease.
My story is about dealing with a loved one on a day to day basis who had been diagnosed with this very debilitating disease. I wanted to do this so possible it would help any of you who are dealing with a loved one, or are a caretaker of a person with this disease.
You will find in reading my story that parts will make you cry, but you will also see some very funny moments.
In one instance that we all laughed about, we had to pull a fast one on my mom.
Mom was addicted to taking Correctol laxatives at bedtime every night. They were little pink pills. I tried, to no avail, to get her to stop taking them every night. One thing about Alzheimer's patients; once they make up their mind to do something you are not going to change it. I had to come up with a solution to this problem.
While grocery shopping one day I noticed a bag of candy that was the same size and shape as her Correctol. I noticed there was a pink one in the bag. Ah ha! I have found the solution to my problem.
Every night at bedtime I gave her 2 pieces of the "pink candy," and she never knew the difference. She did make the comment one day she thought they were not working as well as they did in the past. You have to learn to beat them at their own game.
This is just one of the many humorous and also sad stories of dealing with mom.
I hope my story will help so many of you out there. May God Bless each of you in your particular situation, and I hope my story will be of some help to you.
I am My Mother Mother eBook Deanna Lang Campise
The writing style of the book's author holds the reader's attention throughout. She tells of the heartbreak of parent-child role reversal that is inevitable when the parent suffers from Alzheimer's Disease. As a one-time caregiver of a parent with senile dementia, I was curious to see if the book covered most, if not all the broad range of issues and experiences associated with this disease. It did. I empathized with the adult daughter who without second thoughts or regrets took on the full responsibility of caring for her aged and ill parents. Her choice to care for her parents came at a high personal cost. This is a story about love and commitment to family. In addition, the reader will gain much knowledge of Alzheimers disease and available resources as well. I expect I Am My Mother's Mother to gain an even wider audience now that the baby boomer generation is aging and projected to have an astoundingly high incidence of Alzheimer's Disease. I highly recommend this book to family members of individuals who have Alzheimer's.Product details

I am My Mother Mother eBook Deanna Lang Campise Reviews
I found this book to be interesting and very
informative.This book will definitley help someone who is a
care giver for this type of disease. In fact i know of someone at present with this disease i will pass this information on to the care giver.
This story chronicles the journey of a mid life daughter who chooses to care for her Mother through the awful and debilitating stages of Alzheimers. She even pauses to understand the humor and uplifting times.
It's a good book to learn what you could probably go through in dealing with a loved one's alz disease.
Too much data/statistics at the end of the book.
This book was written out of love as a memorial to the author's mother. It is written in time-line form about her experience of caring for the mind and body of her mother who she was losing to the terrible disease called Alzheimer's.
She gas written this book to help other caregivers realize in layman's terms what to expect and offer some coping skills.
While reading this biography, you will be helped to understand your emotions and other people's reactions and coping methods.
She has included her love of God and inspiring Bible verses.
A take home lesson for me is that we are here by the grace of God to be of service to others.
