Summary
In Speaking Our Minds, seven individuals with Alzheimer's express their thoughts and feelings about what it is like to have the disease and its impact on their lives. With honesty and insight, they discuss receiving the diagnosis, changes in family and social relationships, and the profound effects of memory loss on daily activity, spirituality, and personal identity. Their reflections, with the author's own narrative, provide a remarkable and rarely heard perspective on the experience of Alzheimer's. Book jacket.
