Families, caregivers, and memory care staff can share this book with the people they care for. It is also an excellent activity for seniors with Parkinson's disease or recovering from a stroke. Seniors with eyesight or strength challenges who find it difficult to hold a heavy book or read long paragraphs of text will also enjoy this book. FEATURES * Beautiful Content This book is filled with carefully-curated, full-color, digitally remastered Victorian angel illustrations accompanied by inspirational quotes about angels. * No Text The only text included in the book consists of the quotes about angels that accompany each illustration. * Manageable Size This is a 40-page, 6" x 9" softcover that's comfortable to hold and easy to tuck into a bag. * High Quality The quality of this book's cover and its interior design are indistinguishable from books created for other readers.

This book can be given to your loved one without fear that they might feel embarrassed or offended. NOTES FOR CAREGIVERS * Sit beside your loved one in a quiet place that is free of distractions. * Allow them to hold the book if possible, and also turn the pages, which will enable them to become more engaged in the book. * Put a pillow in their lap to support the book as you thumb through it together. * Leave this book in an accessible place to allow your loved one to pick it up on their own when you're not there.

Download or read book On Pluto Inside the Mind of Alzheimer s written by Greg O'Brien and published by Good Night books. This book was released on 2018-02-27 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a book about living with Alzheimer’s, not dying with it. It is a book about hope, faith, and humor—a prescription far more powerful than the conventional medication available today to fight this disease. Alzheimer’s is the sixth leading cause of death in the US—and the only one of these diseases on the rise. More than 5 million Americans have been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s or a related dementia; about 35 million people worldwide. Greg O’Brien, an award-winning investigative reporter, has been diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer's and is one of those faceless numbers. Acting on long-term memory and skill coupled with well-developed journalistic grit, O’Brien decided to tackle the disease and his imminent decline by writing frankly about the journey. O’Brien is a master storyteller. His story is naked, wrenching, and soul searching for a generation and their loved ones about to cross the threshold of this death in slow motion. On Pluto: Inside the Mind of Alzheimer’s is a trail-blazing roadmap for a generation—both a “how to” for fighting a disease, and a “how not” to give up!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The time was the great rift between fallen angels, as humans; it was the supposed time of the great freedom when there were no rules on earth. And, that time was when earth wasnt even called earth. It was nothing to them and something in the same moment. The fallen angels almost had the same kind of planet, as Aubrahteery, which they gave up. It was warm and lit all the time. There was no darkness, no coldness, and no desolation. Until, their dark hearts took over and began to change their surroundings. What the fallen angels also didnt realize was that their new home verged changing with the reality of the darkness lying in the root of their hearts. The fallen angels didnt realize that darkness and negativity carried a lot more dead weight with it, which is ultimately what forged the slowing planet with all the fallen angels, as humans upon her surface.

And after that Saturday and then BLING BLING BLING it's Sunday again and I get to talk to my daddy again.” Daddy burst out laughing.
