I have written this book for the benefit of caregivers, personal and professional, full-time and occasional who would like to find a way to communicate more effectively with people who have Alzheimer's Disease. If you can understand what makes a person tick, why he does the things he does, you can often find ways to reach him. Two keys to this understanding are knowing who he was before the disease, and being able to go where he is now. This book offers practical skills for anyone who encounters folks with Alzheimer's -- police, clergy, nursing home staff, families, etc.

Over an eleven year span, I wrote letters to my sisters describing the experience of caring for my Mother who had Alzheimer's Disease. These letters served as a journal describing what it was like living with this disease for both Mom and myself. I start with a brief background on Mom's early life and then the letters begin, covering her time living in my home, in a nursing home, and her death.

Health and happiness are mutually inclusive.The insatiable desire for happiness is etched into human consciousness and woven into the innate survival mechanism, making health and happiness inseparable requirements for both life and evolution. The science of the Mind/Body Connection-psychoneuroimmunology-is still unraveling its mysteries, but the science is clear: Health and longevity are natural conditions perpetuated by happiness and the feeling of love.The science is also clear: Quantum theory holds that humans are energetic beings-subatomic waves and particles-interacting in a quantum field of limitless potential, where they create their reality. This theory validates the principles of Ancient Wisdom that advises: humans are eternal beings of light and love, created in God's image and imbued with the powers of wisdom, will and love. These parallel understandings resurrect the hidden truth of humanity's capacity to reshape their reality into the harmony, peace and love that heals suffering.Loving Yourself Whole synthesizes today's science with ancient wisdom to redefine holistic health as a balanced integration of spirit, mind and body-the sole determinant of happiness and health. It empowers a radically different approach, pushing beyond conventional thought to decode the wisdom and guidance encrypted in our physical, mental, emotional and social experiences. This understanding allows us to be present now, heal our past, create a better future and reclaim our birthright as happy, loving and whole.Topics include: - The importance of acknowledging our spiritual (or quantum) essence.- The reason love, connection and conscious relationships are the critical elements governing healing, health and happiness.- A detailed description of the physical and mental processes that create our struggles, distress and disease, and how these same mechanisms can be used to cultivate a more promising future.- Finding happiness is the purpose of life and a uniquely individual effort requiring the entire village of humanity to achieve.- Identify easily accessible tools and practices to create a healthier and happier existence for ourselves and for our human tribe.It is time to think beyond our limitations, achieve peace and love on our own terms and step into our power as unique expressions of God's love in this world...and be happy, healthy and whole.
