I’m offering a copy of A Glass Full of Tears, Dementia Day-By-Day by June Lund Shiplett as a giveaway here at Alzheimer’s Notes as part of the Bloggy Giveaways Carnival.

In this book, June Lund Shiplett shares the journal she kept during her husband Charlie’s encounter with multi-infarct dementia and the challenges she faced as his caregiver.  This is a particularly good book for a spouse caregiver since so many books are written from the child caregiver point of view, as mine was.

June Lund Shiplett is the author of numerous romance novels and is known to many readers of this genre.  Sometimes we don’t realize our favorite authors often face the same or similar challenges that we do.

Guidelines for the giveaway – Leave a comment below. Share with us, if you’d like, your role in regard to Alzheimer’s or another form or dementia. The giveaway is open only to those living in the United States or who have a US mailing address.

Deadline – the giveway will run until Friday, October 31, 11:59 PM (eastern).  Make sure you leave your e-mail (it won’t be published) so I can contact you if you’re the winner.  Only one entry per person will be accepted.

Bloggy Giveaway Starts October 27

We have a winner for the Glass Full of Tears Giveaway, associated with the Bloggy Giveaways Carnival.  A copy of the book is on its way to her.

Kristen  mentions in her comment:

My first job ever was working in a Nursing Home. I saw many different faces of Alzheimer’s and dementia while working there- the good, the bad, and the incredibly sad. But also the very wonderful!

Thanks, Kristen, for entering the giveaway and for sharing your experience.  Alzheimer’s is all of what you mention…and if you let yourself look beyond the sad and and not so good, you will see the very wonderful.  This is something I learned when caring for my aunt and mom.
