The Reluctant Caregiver by Bobbi Junior

 "The Reluctant Caregiver" by Bobbi Junior

This book is not so much of a "how do I handle this" sort of book; it follows one woman's journey through the chaos of a mother with dementia who is determined to be independent.

I began this book very shortly after my mother-in-law was diagnosed and while the two women with dementia are different, I did learn that the paths have similarities.

Bobbi Junior is a Christian and the book is peppered with passages that both challenge and comfort - how do you deal with dementia in a difficult relative in a way that honors God.

I would recommend this book to anybody who would like the encouragement while walking this difficult path
