Excerpt: 'Creating Moments of Joy'

July 8, 2008

Dealing with Alzheimer's disease can be as difficult for family members

as it is for the afflicted patient. Author Jolene Brackey has written a

book to help families handle the changes Alzheimer's brings.

" Creating Moments of Joy " focuses on looking beyond the disease's

challenges. Instead, it says people should focus more energy on making

joyful moments, since a person with short-term memory loss lives from

moment to moment.
