CREATING MOMENTS OF JOY ALONG THE ALZHEIMER’S JOURNEY: A GUIDE FOR FAMILIES AND CAREGIVERS (5TH EDITION)
Book ID/图书代码： 11133016B97342
English Summary/英文概要： The beloved best seller has been revised and expanded for the fifth edition. Jolene Brackey has a vision: that we will soon look beyond the challenges of Alzheimer’s disease to focus more of our energies on creating moments of joy. When people have short-term memory loss, their lives are made up of moments. We are not able to create perfectly wonderful days for people with dementia or Alzheimer’s, but we can create perfectly wonderful moments, moments that put a smile on their faces and a twinkle in their eyes. Five minutes later, they will not remember what we did or said, but the feeling that we left them with will linger. The new edition of Creating Moments of Joy is filled with more practical advice sprinkled with hope, encouragement, new stories, and generous helpings of humor. In this volume, Brackey reveals that our greatest teacher is having cared for and loved someone with Alzheimer’s and that often what we have most to learn about is ourselves.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 这部广受欢迎的畅销书经过了修订和扩充，现推出第五版。作者认为，我们很快就能克服阿兹海默症的各种挑战，将更多的精力用于制造点滴欢乐。人们如果遭遇了短暂失忆，他们的生活就变成了由各个瞬间所构成。我们无法为患有失忆症或阿兹海默症的病人创造完美的一天，但我们可以为他们制造完美的时刻，让他们的脸上绽放笑容。可能5分钟以后他们就不急的我们做了或说了什么，但这种美好的感觉会留在他们心中。该书的第五版收录了更多充满希望、鼓励、新故事的实用建议。作者指出，照顾并爱着患有阿兹海默症的经历是我们最好的老师。通常，我们最需要了解的其实是自己。（LYR）
