Böcker av Susan Morley

Susan's mother is difficult, spunky, quirky, and a bit demanding of her, but when her mother gets Alzheimer's, Susan is thrust into a world of ludicrous and sometimes hilarious circumstances and describes in heart-wrenching detail how she deals with feelings of guilt and frustration. She gives us glimpses inside her own life and reveals with honest and evocative intimacy her disastrous relationships, how she manages them, the role her mother plays in them, and how she grows and learns in the process. Forever Sunday is a true story of the bond between a mother and daughter. It covers Susan's mother's life from childhood to an elderly woman, details of Susan's life, how their relationship develops, and the ways in which it changes when Alzheimer's strikes. According to the Alzheimer's Association, over five million Americans are afflicted with Alzheimer's disease in 2020. By 2050, it is projected to rise to 16 million. This disease kills more than breast cancer and prostate cancer combined. One out of every 10 people over the age of 65 has Alzheimer's today. This book reveals some of the warning signs and answers questions to help others deal with this horrific disease. The author guides us through and leaves us with an unforgettable slice of history spanning from 1917 to 2013-96 years.
