""As both a neurologist who provides care for persons diagnosed with dementia, and a son who cared for two parents living with Alzheimer's, I have become very familiar with available caregiver resources, gleaning knowledge for personal use and to recommend to others. In The Caregiver's Advocate Vol . 2, Debbie DeMoss Compton and her team of co-authors have succeeded in creating one of the best caregiver guides currently available. Authors-all with personal caregiving experience-share their stories, followed by strategies utilized to navigate both the downfalls and uplifts inherent to the journey, and have done so with honesty, compassion, and authenticity. I plan to recommend this resource widely in my practice."" Daniel C. Potts, MD, FAAN, neurologist with the Tuscaloosa VA Medical Center, and co-author, A Pocket Guide for the Alzheimer's Caregiver ""As a caregiver for more than 20 years, first with my mom and now with my wife, who is in the late stages of early-onset Alzheimer's disease, I found The Caregiver's Advocate Vol 2 to be a handy tool. I wish I had it back then, while I tried to navigate the maze of being a caregiver by reading numerous books on the subject. This book has all the different aspects of caring for someone and more. As my journey continues, I will now have this book to reference moving forward. The different contributors to this great book have varied backgrounds and thus bring unique perspectives to this ever-changing and increasingly challenging landscape. Anthony Copeland-Parker, author, Running All Over the World, Our Race Against Early Onset Alzheimer's ""The Caregiver's Advocate Vol. 2 is an honest, heartfelt representation of multiple aspects of caregiving in its 22 chapters. As in reality, the journey is different for each family, for every caregiver. The more a caregiver hears from others, the more there can be understanding that one's own caregiving circumstance, while unique, has common threads that are woven into a quilt from which all can learn. Each chapter contains a different nuance that allows the reader to appreciate its author's perspective. A plus is that, at the chapter's conclusion, there is a picture and bio of its author along with contact information and resources. Thus, it's not just a personal storybook; it serves as a rich resource with the opportunity to connect with the author, including on social media."" Connie Siskowski, RN, PhD, founder and president, The American Association of Caregiving Youth
