The Dangers of Denial Elizabeth Lonseth

Jeffery Anderson feature writer for A Place for Mom "In The Dangers of Denial, Elizabeth Lonseth's straight talk about dementia caregiving will help families to see the reality of their situation and their loved one's condition, while at the same time providing them the tools and information they need to cope. Lonseth has a powerful, compassionate, and informal voice that easily connects with fellow caregivers. Her experience helping to care for her in-laws and her own parents during their autumn years has provided her a wealth of knowledge from which to draw, and her caregiving parables are a testament to the teaching power of the narrative form. Lonseth demonstrates skill crystallizing broad and difficult topics to their core, conveying essential information while simultaneously respecting the scarce time of the caregivers who are her readers. I would recommend The Dangers of Denial to any new dementia caregiver."
