Wheat Ridge, CO (PRWEB) May 1, 2005

In this comprehensive guide for caregivers, Negri offers what she calls “stepping stones to peace”— to help caregivers find the possibility of transformation through one of life’s most difficult transitions. Balancing practical tips from Negri’s legal practice with warm-hearted insights from her personal journey, Mom, Are You There? is designed to help readers shift the focus from fear and loss to new and better ways of thinking about and living with dementia.

It also offers advice on knowing where to go for medical, legal and social services information about Alzheimer’s, dealing with family conflict and guilt, and uncovering the often hidden gifts of this devastating disease.

Mom, Are You There? resonates with industry leaders

“Kathleen Negri’s insights, lessons and practical tips help family members and the person with Alzheimer’s embrace each other in positive healthy ways, bringing peace to both their journeys,” said LeAnn Thieman, co-author of Chicken Soup for the Caregiver’s Soul.

Jyette Lokvig, author of Alzheimer’s A to Z, Quick Reference Guide calls Kathleen Negri’s book, “…an invaluable guide to caregivers of Alzheimer’s people.”

“Mom, Are You There? captures the challenges and struggles faced by families coping with Alzheimer’s disease in a sensitive and thought provoking manner…I encourage caregivers to answer the questions at the end of each chapter—they provide a rich legacy of the Alzheimer’s journey,” commented Linda Mitchell, CEO, Alzheimer’s Association of Colorado.
